Formerly considered as part of" junk DNA", pseudogenes are nowadays known for their role
in the post-transcriptional regulation of functional genes. In addition, their identification …

Pseudogenes are paralogs generated from ancestral functional genes (parents) during
genome evolution, which contain critical defects in their sequences, such as lacking a …

Pseudogenes, the debilitated parts of ancient genes, were previously scrapped off as junk or
discarded genes with no functional significance. Pseudogenes have come under scrutiny for …

Pseudogenes have long been considered nonfunctional elements. The influx of large-scale
sequencing projects over the last decade have provided rich sources of evidence that …

Pseudogenes are homologous relatives of known genes that have lost their ability to
function as a transcriptional unit. Three classes of pseudogenes are known to exist …

Historically pseudogenes were believed to represent nonfunctional genomic fossils;
however, there is emerging evidence that many of them could be biologically active. This …

The complexities of a genome are underpinned to the vast expanses of the intergenic
region, which constitutes∼ 97–98% of the genome. This region is essentially composed of …

The Pseudogene. org knowledgebase serves as a comprehensive repository for
pseudogene annotation. The definition of a pseudogene varies within the literature, resulting …

Pseudogenes (Ψ) are nonfunctional genomic sequences resembling functional genes.
Knowledge of Ψs can improve genome annotation and our understanding of genome …

Arising from gene duplications or retrotranspositions, pseudogenes are genomic sequences
with high sequence similarity to functional genes but unable to encode the same type of …
