Diverse evolutionary trajectories of mitocoding DNA in mammalian and avian nuclear genomes

Table 5.

Number of NUMTS, coding NUMTs (cNUMTs), and divergent coding NUMTs (dcNUMTS) in birds and mammals

NUMT type No. in mammals No. in birds
NUMTs 85,100 28,947
cNUMTs 5229 1200
dcNUMTs 4182 917
 dcNUMTs/non-dcNUMTs in groups 2670/144 157/6
 single dcNUMTs 2024 786
 dcNUMTs single+grouped 511 26
  • As dcNUMTs can have multiple genes, they might group with other dcNUMTs multiple times.
