Pseudogene identification and classification

Hello guys, I know that probably my question is stupid, but still I cant find a valid answer... After a detailed microarray analysis (differential expression analysis), I got an interesting HUMAN pseudogene very well expressed. Now, on NCBI and other Dbs, this gene is just classified like "pseudogene", not more. As you know, there are a lot of types of pseudogenes (unary, processed, unprocessed, etc). I need to know if exists a tool that given the pseudogene sequence as input can say me which kind of psgene is it. Also, a detailed step-by-step procedure that drives me to analyze my pseudogene is welcome.

Every helps is kindly accepted.

Best regards, Emilio

Yes, I visited PseudoGeneQuest many times, but it is always out of service...may be not maintained. Some article that can drives me to analyze my pseudogene?

There is a tool called PseudoGeneQuest but the webserver seems to be down or no longer functional: http://bioinf.uta.fi/PseudoGeneQuest

The article is here: PseudoGeneQuest – Service for identification of different pseudogene types in the human genome
