CpG Islands, Gene Expression and Pseudogenization: A Case for a Potential Trilogy

CONCLUSIONS: We inferred that perhaps tissue-specific genes are more prone to the process of pseudogenization. In this way, because of their impact on gene expression, CGIs may affect the fate of a gene. To our knowledge, this is the first study to propose a connection between CGIs, gene expression, and the pseudogenization process and discuss the evolutionary implications of this potential trilogy.PMID:38538343 | DOI:10.31083/j.fbs1601002
