NUMT, pronounced "new might," is an acronym for "nuclear mitochondrial DNA" segment coined by evolutionary geneticist, Jose V. Lopez, which describes a transposition of any type of cytoplasmic mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genome of eukaryotic organisms. In 2022, scientists reported the discovery of ongoing transfer of mitochondrial DNA into DNA in the cell nucleus. Previously, NUMT were thought to have arisen only long ago. 66 thousand whole-genome sequences indicate this currently occurs as frequent as once in every ~4,000 human births.

  • El ADN mitocondrial nuclear (abreviado NUMT, del inglés nuclear mitochondrial DNA segment)​ es un término que se refiere a aquellas secuencias de ADN nuclear que son homólogas al ADN mitocondrial (ADNmt), que están presentes en células eucariotas. Algunas secuencias de ADN de las mitocondrias se transfieren con frecuencia al núcleo y han sido encontradas en numerosas especies.​​ El término fue acuñado por Jose V. Lopez en 1994 en un estudio sobre el genoma nuclear del gato doméstico.​​ (es)
