Mitochondrial DNA is classically believed to be maternally inherited. A recent paper suggested in rare circumstances, some may be paternally inherited. However, it may be the case that these paternal results are due to nuclear contamination. https://t.co/G
Those pesky NUMTs! https://t.co/m2sJcTLzsi Mitochondrial DNA might not be inherited paternally after all, but might appear to be due to a Mega-NUMT. See my pinned post for our own contribution to this field of research ;-) #academictwitter #PhDlife #PhDch
