Many non-functional DNA regions {pseudogene} are similar in sequence to actual genes, such as ribosome genes. Reverse transcription can incorporate host or foreign mRNA into DNA {processed pseudogene} {retropseudogene}, using RNA-mediated retroposon transposition. Mutations can make pseudogenes. Pseudogenes can have copies and repeats. They can harbor RNA sequences. Pseudogenes can represent information to turn off or turn on. Species have distinctive pseudogene patterns.
