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

NUMT typeNo. in mammalsNo. in birds
NUMTs85,10028,947
cNUMTs52291200

 dcNUMTs/non-dcNUMTs in groups2670/144157/6
 single dcNUMTs2024786
 dcNUMTs single+grouped51126

[i] As dcNUMTs can have multiple genes, they might group with other dcNUMTs multiple times.
