A sequence of DNA that is very similar to a normal gene but that has been altered slightly so it is not expressed. Such genes were probably once functional but over time acquired one or more mutations that rendered them incapable of producing a protein product.

<molecular biology> Nonfunctional DNA sequences that are very similar to the sequences of known genes. ... Examples are those found in the beta like globin gene cluster. Some probably result from gene duplications that become nonfunctional because of the loss of promoters, accumulation of stop codons, mutations that prevent correct processing...

Non-functional DNA sequences that are very similar to the sequences of known genes. Examples are those found in the b -like globin gene cluster. Some probably result from gene duplications that become non-functional because of the loss of promoters, accumulation of stop codons, mutations that prevent correct processing etc. Some pseudogenes contain a poly-A tail suggesting that a mRNA, at some point, was copied into DNA that was then integrated into the genome.
