[i] Processed pseudogenes that are continuous in sequence with insertions ≤60 bp.

[ii] Processed pseudogenes that are disrupted by insertions (>60 bp).

[iii] Number of processed pseudogenes + pseudogenic fragments per 1 Mb DNA.

[iv] RSP4Y on chromosome Y is an isoform of RSP4X on chromosome X.

[v] Correlation (chromosome size, number of processed pseudogenes) = 0.89,P < 1E-8.

[vi] Correlation (chromosome size, number of processed pseudogenes + fragments) = 0.89, P < 1E-8.
