unitary_pseudogene

ID: SO_0001759

A pseudogene, deactivated from original state by mutation, fixed in a population,where the ortholog in a reference species such as mouse remains functional.

This is different from a non processed pseudogene because the gene was not duplicated. An example is the L-gulono-lactone oxidase pseudogene in primates.
