Expression and regulatory asymmetry of retained Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factor genes derived from whole genome duplication

Abstract Background Transcription factors (TFs) play a key role in regulating plant development and response to environmental stimuli. While most genes revert to single copy after whole genome duplication (WGD) event, transcription factors are retained at a significantly higher rate. Little is known...
