Gene Loss

Gene loss is the evolutionary process in which a gene functional sequence present in an ancestral genome is rendered nonfunctional or entirely absent in a descendant lineage due to mutations, deletions, or pseudogenization, representing a specific mechanism of genome reduction within the broader context of molecular and genome evolution.
