Retrotransposition is an active process in mammalian gene evolution. It involves the reverse transcription of an mRNA transcript and the subsequent re-integration of the resulting cDNA into genomic DNA. This study was to derive a complete picture of the role of gene retrotransposition in the genome evolution of vertebrates, particularly in mammals. A robust procedure to annotate putative retrogenes (PRs) was applied to eight vertebrate genomes (human, chimp, dog, cow, rat, mouse, chicken and the puffer-fish T. nigriviridis). Mammalian genomes were estimated to contain 400-800 PRs (up to ~4% of genes). For the eight genomes studied here, no significant correlation between the number of genes in a genome and the number of PRs established. Mos...
