Processed pseudogenes 96.5% 76.2% 86.8% 3.6 13 8
Pseudogenic fragments 42.1% 74.2% 84.1% 2.0 227 127
Total 88.5% 75.9% 84.8% 3.4 44 26
  • Length of translated pseudogenes divided by the length of RP peptides, averaged over the entire pseudogene population.

  • Average sequence identity between translated pseudogene and RP peptide sequence.

  • Average sequence identity between pseudogene sequence and RP cDNA sequence.

  • Average number of premature stop codons, frame shifts, and repeat insertions in the processed pseudogenes.

  • Average number of missing nucleotides at 5′ end, CDS only.

  • Average number of missing nucleotides at 3′ end, CDS only.
