PY - 2009 DA - 2009/08/25 TI - Implications of high level pseudogene transcription in Mycobacterium leprae JO - BMC Genomics SP - 397 VL - 10 IS - 1 AB - The Mycobacterium leprae genome has less than 50% coding capacity and 1,133 pseudogenes. Preliminary evidence suggests that some pseudogenes are expressed. Therefore, defining pseudogene transcriptional and translational potentials of this genome should increase our understanding of their impact on M. leprae physiology.
