👉 Pseudoxygaster is a type of pseudogenes, which are non-coding regions that do not code for any protein but may contain regulatory elements or other information related to gene function. These regions often occur in the genome and can have significant impact on the expression patterns of specific genes. Pseudogenes often arise from chromosomal abnormalities or during cell division, but they can also be present at random throughout the genome due to genetic drift or loss-of-function mutations.
