"Sometimes they make mistakes, producing non-functional versions known as
pseudogenes."
The main characteristics of the gene such as gene and mRNA lengths, the coding sequence, and the number of probable
pseudogenes were analyzed.
Particular emphasis is placed on transcribed
pseudogenes due to sequence homology, tissue-specific expression, and evolutionary conservation despite their lack of coding functionality [34-36].
These include genes with complex sequence contexts such as
pseudogenes, genetic rearrangements, and a high GC content.
A
pseudogene is a genomic DNA sequence that has sequence similarity to a functional gene but it is nonfunctioning.
Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai turned to SMRT sequencing as an alternative, finding that they could produce amplicons covering the gene and its copies as well as the
pseudogene. (3) A pilot project and follow-up studies showed that the long-read technology could not only sequence through the whole amplicon repeatedly, but also allowed for allele phasing to provide clinically meaningful information.
The first cluster is on the long branch of the chromosome 1 (q23-25) and the second cluster lies on the other region of the chromosome 1; however this second region contains
pseudogenes. Up to now, a total of 5 FMOs, all of which are active, have been identified in the mammals.

The interaction between rs17688362 and rs12484954 involves the RNA 5S ribosomal
pseudogene 455 (RNA5SP455)/keratin 8
pseudogene 5 (KRT8P5) and the gene dynein axonemal light chain 4 (DNAL4).
