Figure 5. Insertion Sites of NUMTs in the Human Genome.

Figure 5

Histogram of the insertion sites of NUMTs in the human genome. Only NUMTs tested in human and in chimpanzee samples are shown. This includes the 27 NUMTs specific to humans and absent from chimpanzees (21 present in all individuals tested and 6 with insertion polymorphism in humans), one additional NUMT with insertion polymorphism, previously described, see text, and 14 NUMTs common to human and chimpanzee, out of 183 found by BLAST search. Colors of the blocks indicate the different target sites. For details see Table 3.
