👉 A pseudogene, also known as a pseudogen, is a gene that has been altered or deleted in a genome. It refers to a gene whose function was not originally determined and which is now being used to predict the expression of another gene based on its sequence similarity. In other words, a pseudoallele (or pseudogene) is a gene that has been modified through mutation, but it still functions as an important gene for certain biological processes. These genes are often found in regions of the genome
