Identification of a translated pseudogene. Two unique peptides (blue) span the conserved intergenic ORF prediction located at 13,386,747–13,387,043 on chromosome IV. In WormBase WS150 these peptides were present within a predicted pseudogene. In a later version of WormBase, this pseudogene has been corrected to a protein-coding gene. A mass spectrum of the peptide DMFAFENVGFTR, one of the two peptides confirming the translation of this pseudogene, is illustrated.
