| Scientists refer to such a disabled piece of DNA as a pseudogene. |
| Finally, it is conceivable that a copy of a multicopy gene family is a pseudogene. |
| We note that correction could occur between a highly expressed gene and an unexpressed pseudogene. |
| In primates, an increase can be observed in the pseudogene fraction from new world monkeys to Man, whereas this rate is reduced in mice. |
| Importantly, 'replacement' sites that evolve slowly in the functional gene have been shown to evolve more rapidly in the nonfunctional tandem duplicate pseudogene. |
| Like previously, the copy in the duplicated block has been erased, and no trace of a pseudogene or relic can be detected in S. cerevisiae. |
