Abstract:
A one kb human genomic DNA fragment, containing a processed pseudogene of a proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA/DNA polymerase delta auxiliary protein), was isolated and sequenced. The PCNA pseudogene consisted of the 3' half of exon 4 and the 5' half of exon 5 of the PCNA gene, and shared 84% nucleotide homology with the human PCNA cDNA. The PCNA pseudogene was localized on human chromosome 4, based on data obtained from a panel of human-mouse hybrid cell lines.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
