Pseudogenes in the human genome annotation

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone if familiar of any annotation term in the human genes annotation e.g. from gencode or ensembl to be able to extract pseudogenes and separate them from non-pseudogenes.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Sergio

Hello,

You can also use the Table Browser (genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables) to extract the pseudogenes from our default gene track.

First make the following selections (for hg38):

And then select the filter button, and type pseudogene for transcriptClass:

The output for the whole genome will be 18,578 annotations, from the GENCODE V36 models.

If you have any follow up questions, our public help desk can always be reached at genome@soe.ucsc.edu. You may also send questions to genome-www@soe.ucsc.edu if they contain sensitive data. For any Genome Browser questions on Biostars, the UCSC tag is the best way to ensure visibility by the team.
