| Research Abstract |
Nuclear copies (Numts) of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are the major factor that deteriorate the utility of mtDNA markers in phylogenetic and population studies of insects. In this study, Numts were isolated and sequenced using various insect species. By comparing the sequences between Numts and mtDNA, the structure, evolutionary history, and utility of Numts in insect studies were examined.
