(A) The human CYP51P1 pseudogene. Upper-case sequence (130/508 amino acids) is correctly predicted by Genscan. (B) The underlined sequence is a new first exon, plus an upstream extension from the start codon, to find a phase 2 junction. Most of the pseudogene is not predicted, although the pseudogene is 92 per cent identical to CYP51 over the entire length of the protein sequence.
