Pseudogene Analysis with GeneQuery™ qPCR Kits

Pseudogenes are DNA segments similar to functional genes but with lost function. They were first described in 1977. Based on origin, they are classified as processed (e.g., human PTENP1), non-processed (e.g., human ARHGAP27P1), or unitary (e.g., human GULOP).

While many may not be functional or transcribed,
