General Information
Term pseudogene ID (Ontology) SO:0000336 (Sequence Ontology)
Definition A sequence that closely resembles a known functional gene, at another locus within a genome, that is non-functional as a consequence of (usually several) mutations that prevent either its transcription or translation (or both). In general, pseudogenes result from either reverse transcription of a transcript of their \"normal\" paralog (SO:0000043) (in which case the pseudogene typically lacks introns and includes a poly(A) tail) or from recombination (SO:0000044) (in which case the pseudogene is typically a tandem duplication of its \"normal\" paralog).
Also Known As"INSDC_qualifier:pseudo" ; "INSDC_qualifier:unknown"
