Pseudogene

Isolation and nucleotide sequence analysis of the beta-type globin pseudogene from human, gorilla and chimpanzee. ❋ Unknown (2010)

A bit further down in the human pseudogene is a deletion mutation, where one particular letter is missing. ❋ Unknown (2010)

For example, there's what's termed a pseudogene copy of one of the BRCA genes, which has inactivating mutations in it, and no longer produces any protein. ❋ John Timmer (2010)

Usually, that's it, and that copy becomes a so-called pseudogene, functionless litter, part of the famous junk DNA. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In the region between the two gamma genes and a gene that works after birth, human DNA contains a broken gene (called a "pseudogene") that closely resembles a working gene for a beta chain, but has features in its sequence that preclude it from coding successfully for a protein. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Toward the end of the human pseudogene another letter is missing. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Thus finding a pseudogene in both chimps and humans that has exactly the same mutations in the same places was compelling evidence for him of common ancestry. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Chimp DNA has a very similar pseudogene at the same position. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In "The Design of Life" they presented a case in which humans and guinea pigs share the same mistake. (page 133) the GULO pseudogene. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In fact, Behe makes the point that humans and chimpanzees share a pseudogene that proves they had a common ancestor. ❋ Unknown (2009)

It doesn't make sense to design a pseudogene (a gene that no longer functions as a gene) once, let alone twice — once in chimpanzees and once in humans. ❋ Unknown (2009)

That strong evidence from the pseudogene points well beyond the ancestry of humans. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The beginning of the human pseudogene has two particular changes in two nucleotide letters that seems to deactivate the gene. ❋ Unknown (2009)
