Words similar to pseudogenes

Example sentences for: pseudogenes

How can you use “pseudogenes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

All duplicates were cross-referenced and apparent pseudogenes having frameshifts, deletions and other defects obviously incompatible with receptor function were eliminated.
Because the duplications were identified through the similarity of full-length protein sequences (see Materials and methods), this procedure primarily, if not exclusively, detected functional genes rather than pseudogenes.
After removal of probable pseudogenes and sequencing artifacts (see below), the final EPK collection contained sequences representing 510 distinct putative human loci, 12 of which are thought to encode proteins that contain two separate EPK domains.
We empirically determined cut-off scores for these comparisons that lead to rejection of most independently verified pseudogenes and simulated poor-quality sequences, while retaining all known EPK genes and verifiable novel EPK sequences (data not shown).
The TrpEb_1 products of these probable pseudogenes have elongated branches (highlighted yellow) on the protein tree shown in Figure 2.
