Unitary Pseudogenes

Unitary Pseudogenes is a type of pseudogene that results from the inactivation of a functional gene through disruptive mutations in a species where no functional paralogous copy exists, thereby distinguishing it from processed or duplicated pseudogenes by its origin from a single-copy ancestral gene.
