Скачать или смотреть Pseudogenes and Function (Part 1) 1-18-2020 by Paul Giem

A recent article in Nature Reviews Genetics argues that the term "pseudogene" should be downplayed if not replaced, because it implies a lack of function and discourages research into possible functions. The case could be made that this is accurate, but that some of the other choices suffer the same drawback. Long-term observers of genetics may remember that the concept of pseudogene has served as an effective anti-theological rhetorical device. An article by Gary Gilbert in Spectrum and the response of Jim Gibson in Origins are referenced.
