Evolution of duplicate gene sequences, expression patterns, and functions in the Brassicaceae and other rosids

Duplicated genes are considered as raw materials for evolutionary innovations. They are common in eukaryotic genomes, particularly in plants due to the high incidence of whole genome duplication. Thus, understanding the factors that contribute to the retention of duplicated genes is a fundamental to...
