Quantifying the major mechanisms of recent gene duplications in the human and mouse genomes: a novel strategy to estimate gene duplication rates

Deng Pan, Liqing Zhang Genome Biology 2007, 8:R158 (2 August 2007)

By studying two mechanisms of gene duplication, unequal crossover and retrotranspostion, and looking at both small gene families and the entire genome, a new estimate for the rate of gene duplication is made which is more accurate for both small and large gene families.
