Intronic tRNAs of mitochondrial origin regulate constitutive and alternative splicing

Abstract Background The presence of nuclear mitochondrial DNA (numtDNA) has been reported within several nuclear genomes. Next to mitochondrial protein-coding genes, numtDNA sequences also encode for mitochondrial tRNA genes. However, the biological roles of numtDNA remain elusive. Results Employing...
