Striking similarities between a subclass of mammalian pseudogenes and the Alu family of short repetitive DNA sequences which are dispersed throughout the mammalian genome, suggest that both are created by integration into the genome of DNA copies of RNA transcripts.
哺乳动物假基因的一个亚类与遍布哺乳动物基因组的短重复DNA序列的Alu家族之间存在惊人的相似性,这表明两者都是通过RNA转录本的DNA拷贝整合到基因组中而产生的。
