[Pseudogenes: structure conservation, expression, and functions].

Zhurnal obshchei biologii - 1 Jan 2000

Balakirev E S, Ayala F J

Abstract excerpt

Pseudogenes have been defined as nonfunctional sequences of genomic DNA (junk DNA) originally derived from functional genes. It is therefore assumed that pseudogenes are not subject to natural selection and consequently pseudogene mutations are selectively neutral and have equal probability to become fixed in the population. We describe some unexpected features of pseudogenes in diverse organisms that are...
