Abstract excerpt
Nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes (Numts), widely existing in nuclear genomes of many organisms, are those nuclear DNA sequences which have high similarity with mtDNAs. In this study, we identified 14 different multiple nuclear pseudogenes of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene from an individual Scylla paramamosain (Decapoda: Portunidae). Of these sequences, ninety-six variable sites were detected,...
