The integrated sequence, or "retrosequence", is derived from the RNA transcript of a gene, and therefore does not contain introns. It is likely that most retrosequences degenerate and become pseudogenes; however, a few interesting sequences have retained function. A functional retrosequence is called a "retrogene" or "processed gene".  3, record 1, English, - processed%20gene

La matrice dont dérive une rétroséquence correspond généralement à l'ARN transcrit d'un gène structural. Si la rétroséquence est fonctionnelle, on parle de «rétrogène», et dans le cas contraire de «rétropseudogène».  1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9trog%C3%A8ne
