pseudogene

• “Isolation and nucleotide sequence analysis of the beta-type globin pseudogene from human, gorilla and chimpanzee.”

  Behe, Common Descent, & UD

• “A bit further down in the human pseudogene is a deletion mutation, where one particular letter is missing.”

  Behe, Common Descent, & UD

• “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.”

  Ars Technica

• “Usually, that's it, and that copy becomes a so-called pseudogene, functionless litter, part of the famous junk DNA.”

  Pharyngula

• “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.”

  Behe, Common Descent, & UD

• “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.”

  A Disclaimer for Behe?

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

  A Disclaimer for Behe?

• “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.”

  Behe, Common Descent, & UD

• “That strong evidence from the pseudogene points well beyond the ancestry of humans.”

  Behe, Common Descent, & UD

• “The beginning of the human pseudogene has two particular changes in two nucleotide letters that seems to deactivate the gene.”
