In this analysis, we find the pseudogene complement has a strong lineage specificity which reflects each organims's evolution. However, we also find notable similarities in pseudogene activity among species. A majority of pseudogenes in each organism exhibit varying degree of partial activity, and in particular, a consistent fraction of pseudogenes are transcribed across all organisms.
