(Ensembl genes) Functional human genes annotated by Ensembl (Release 8.30a 1), which include known genes and novel genes. (Processed ψG) Processed pseudogenes. Definition of the “true,” “putative,” and “disrupted” processed pseudogenes are described in the text. The numbers of ribosomal protein processed pseudogenes are included in brackets. (Frag. ψG) Pseudogenic fragments. (Dup. ψG) Duplicated pseudogene. (ψG density) Average number of processed pseudogenes per 1 Mb DNA; only “true” processed pseudogenes are included.
