Abstract excerpt
As a non-human primate, the pig-tailed macaque has received wide attention because it can be infected by HIV-1. In this study, we determined the complete mtDNA sequence of the northern pig-tailed macaque (Macaca leonina). Unexpectedly, during the amplification of the mtDNA control region (D-loop region) we observed several D-loop-like sequences, which were NUMTs (nuclear mitochondrial sequences) and a total of 14...
