Liberties of the genome: insertions of mitochondrial DNA fragments into nuclear genome by M. V. Golubenko, V. P. Puzyrev

“…The integration of new mtDNA fragments into the nuclear genome occurs during double-strand DNA break repair through the non-homologous end joining mechanism. Along with evolutionarily stable “genetic fossils” that were integrated into the nuclear genome millions of years ago and are shared by many species, there are NUMTS that could be species-specific, polymorphic in a species, or “private”. …”
