Pseudogenes are defined as regions of the genome that contain defective copies of genes.
They exist across almost all forms of life, and in mammalian genomes are annotated in …

Pseudogenes have long been considered to be 'dead', nonfunctional by-products of
genome evolution. However, several lines of evidence now show that some pseudogenes …

Arising from either retrotransposition or genomic duplication of functional genes,
pseudogenes are “genomic fossils” valuable for exploring the dynamics and evolution of …

We screened all intergenic regions in the human genome to identify pseudogenes with a
combination of homology searches and a functionality test using the ratio of silent to …

Pseudogenes are considered as genomic fossils: disabled copies of functional genes that
were once active in the ancient genome. Recently, whole-genome computational …

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

Background Pseudogenes have long been considered as nonfunctional genomic
sequences. However, recent evidence suggests that many of them might have some form of …

Motivation: Mammalian genomes contain many 'genomic fossils' ie pseudogenes. These are
disabled copies of functional genes that have been retained in the genome by gene …

Background Unitary pseudogenes are a class of unprocessed pseudogenes without
functioning counterparts in the genome. They constitute only a small fraction of annotated …

Pseudogenes were initially regarded as “nonfunctional” genomic elements that did not have
protein-coding abilities due to several endogenous inactivating mutations. Although …
