The transcriptional and translational outcomes for pseudogenes in bacterial endosymbionts

The paper measures transcript and protein abundance in bacterial endosymbionts to understand how they manage pseudogenes, finding that pseudogenes are transcribed but rarely produce proteins, and that tmRNA may target them for degradation.
