Genes encoding hub and bottleneck enzymes of the <it>Arabidopsis </it>metabolic network preferentially retain homeologs through whole genome duplication

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Whole genome duplication (WGD) occurs widely in angiosperm evolution. It raises the intriguing question of how interacting networks of genes cope with this dramatic evolutionary event.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>In...
