Spontaneous transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genomes in the human brain over the individual’s lifespan
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare on RedditShare on Telegram

Somatic nuclear mitochondrial DNA (Numt) insertions are mito-nuclear gene transfer events that can arise in the germline and in cancer. This study shows that Numt insertions arise spontaneously and accumulate in brain tissues during development or over the human lifespan.
