Table 1 Genome segments identified by PseudoGeneQuest
From: PseudoGeneQuest – Service for identification of different pseudogene types in the human genome
# | Tag in the result file | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
1 | ALREADY KNOWN GENE | Hits overlapping genes annotated in the genome files. |
2 | KNOWN PSEUDOGENE | Results overlapping with records in pseudogene.org. |
3 | REAL GENE OR EXON | The hit matches almost exactly to the query. Frequently parts of yet un-annotated or predicted genes. |
4 | PSEUDOGENE FRAGMENT | Covers <70% of the length of the query. Small parts of pseudogenes. |
5 | PSEUDOGENE | Covers >70% of the length of the query and the reading frame is broken. Processed pseudogenes with high homology to the query sequence. |
6 | MISCELLANEOUS | Covers >70% of the length of the query and the reading frame is intact. |
7 | PUTATIVE NEW GENE | The hit has uninterrupted reading frame. Un-annotated gene. |
8 | DUPLICATED PSEUDOGENE | Multiexon hit with <50% repeat content. A recent duplication of a gene. |
9 | INTERRUPTED PROCESSED PSEUDOGENE | Multiexon hit with >50% repeat content. Old processed pseudogenes which accumulated repeats. |
