Abstract excerpt
In the course of studies on mutations in human mitochondrial (mt) DNA, we have uncovered and sequenced four new nuclear pseudogenes corresponding to bp 2457-2657 of the mt 16S rDNA. The four genes and their homologies with human mtDNA are E2 (62.4%), K10 (74.4%), E1 (84.6%) and LE6 (93.2%). When these five pseudogene sequences and another previously reported pseudogene sequence are compared with each other, they...
