Preferential regulation of duplicated genes by microRNAs in mammals

Jingjing Li, Gabriel Musso, Zhaolei Zhang Genome Biology 2008, 9:R132 (26 August 2008)

Analysis of duplicate genes and predicted microRNA targets in human and mouse shows that microRNAs are important in how the regulatory patterns of mammalian paralogs have evolved.
