Hypo
What is Hypo?
- Hypo is a resource of hypothetical-proteins and pseudogenes and the current version is now complemented with predicting pseudogenes across eukaryotes
- Hypothetical proteins are coded by orphan genes. Eventually, many of them turn out to be pseudogenes. In other words, the hypothetical proteins are the predecessors of pseudogenes
Why the webserver?
- The known unknown regions are increasing in number, existing entries go in for rapid curations and citations.
- It is developed as a one stop portal to provide researchers an integrated system to predict whether or not the candidate genes remain known unknowns or as pseudogenes
