MeSH definition : Genes bearing close resemblance to known genes at different loci, but rendered non-functional
by additions or deletions in structure that prevent normal transcription or translation.
When lacking introns and containing a poly-A segment near the downstream end (as a
result of reverse copying from processed nuclear RNA into double-stranded DNA), they
are called processed genes.;
