  2. b. Pseudogenes of protein coding sequences only. The percentage of pseudogenes relative to CDS is indicated in parenthesis.
  3. c. Proportion of « full-size » pseudogenes, i.e. extending over more than 70% of their bestmatch length.
  4. d. Proportion of pseudogenes extensively truncated at their 3'-end.
  5. e. Proportion of pseudogenes extensively truncated at their 5'-end.
