Development stage specificity of pseudogene expression. a Heatmap for human pseudogenes expression level based on GTEx data. b Developmental stage specificity of pseudogene expression. Protein-coding genes and lncRNAs are compared with pseudogenes separately. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. c Number of differentially expressed (DE) protein-coding genes and pseudogenes between adjacent developmental stages. Positive and negative values indicate upregulated and downregulated genes, respectively. To make the trend of pseudogenes clear, the number of protein-coding genes is divided by 10. d Number of DEGs in pairwise comparisons, referenced to tissues the 4th week post conception. The number of protein-coding genes is also divided by 10
