A pseudogenes are defined by their possession of sequences that are related to those of the functional genes, but that cannot be translated into a functional protein. A pseudogene is often denoted by the symbol y.

| pseudogene |
a gene which transcribes a non-functional peptide due to mutation(s). For example, a nuclear pseudogene of mtDNA is a copy of non-functional mtDNA gene incorpotated in the nuclear genome - a possible source of bias when mtDNA analysis is based on PCR with total genomic DNA as a template.

| pseudogene |
A DNA sequence very similar to a gene but nonfunctional as one; probably the remains of a once-functional gene that deteriorated via accumulating mutations.
