Description

NUMT (Nuclear-mitochondrial DNA segment) annotation release 2024/10-03

Methods

NUMTs were annotated using blastn (version 2.6.0) to align mitochondrial DNA assemblies to nuclear assemblies of the same species. These species include T2T apes at the time of release (including human CHM13). Overlapping NUMTs were merged using bedtools (version 2.30.0). The code can be found in Github: (https://github.com/makovalab-psu/T2T_primate_autosomes/tree/main/Detection_of_NUMTs).
