Paralogs and mutational robustness linked through transcriptional reprogramming.

Abstract excerpt

A recent analysis of genome-wide expression patterns and regulatory motif content of paralogous yeast genes strongly suggests that mutational robustness (backup) between paralogous genes is achieved via transcriptional reprogramming of one paralog to compensate for the loss or silencing of the other.
