Somatic human cells contain thousands of copies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). In
eukaryotes, natural transfer of mtDNA into the nucleus generates nuclear
mitochondrial DNA (NUMT) copies. We name this phenomenon as "numtogenesis".
Numtogenesis is a well-established evolutionary process reported in various
sequenced eukaryotic genomes. We have established a molecular tool to rapidly
detect and analyze NUMT insertions in whole genomes. To date, NUMT analyses
depend on deep genome sequencing combined with comprehensive computational
analyses of the whole genome. This is time consuming, cumbersome and cost
prohibitive. Further, most laboratories cannot accomplish such analyses due to
limited skills. We report the development of single-molecule mtFIBER FISH
(fluorescence in situ hybridization) to study numtogenesis. The development of
mtFIBER FISH should aid in establishing a role for numtogenesis in cancers and
other human diseases. This novel technique should help distinguish and monitor
cancer stages and progression, aid in elucidation of basic mechanisms underlying
tumorigenesis and facilitate analyses of processes related to early detection of
cancer, screening and/or cancer risk assessment.
