Bias in plant gene content following different sorts of duplication: tandem, whole-genome, segmental, or by transposition
M Freeling - Annual review of plant biology, 2009 - annualreviews.org
Each mode of gene duplication (tandem, tetraploid, segmental, transpositional) retains
genes in a biased manner. A reciprocal relationship exists between plant genes retained …
