A mouse alpha-globin-related pseudogene (psi alpha 30.5) completely lacks intervening sequences, and could not code for a functional globin poypeptide because of frameshifts. The widespread occurrence of globin pseudogenes in other species suggests that they are not 'dead' genes but may be important in controlling globin expression.
一个与小鼠α-珠蛋白相关的假基因（ψα30.5）完全没有间隔序列，并且由于移码而无法编码功能性珠蛋白多肽。珠蛋白假基因在其他物种中的广泛存在表明它们并非“无功能的”基因，而是可能在控制珠蛋白表达方面具有重要作用。
