In conclusion, most NUMTs are located in regions identified as origins of replication where they are either positioned far from ARS and may act as independent origin elements as it seems to be the case for NUMT2 and NUMT28, or are located close to ARS and may act as elements that strengthen or affect pre-existing origins.
