Abstract

A dispersed immunoglobulin pseudogene carries two hallmarks of RNA processing—spliced J and C regions and a poly (A)-rich tail. Its discovery strengthens the notion that processed genes are a significant feature of the mammalian genome and that genetic information can return to the genome via an RNA intermediate.
