• Resumen

  • This article discusses pseudogenomes, the molecular remains of broken genes which are unable to function because of a lethal injury to their structures. These pseudogenomes are providing scientists with insights that may help in the process of mapping genomes, as well as hints about their own, possible ongoing, role within the human genome.
