Evolutionary origin of regulatory regions of retrogenes in <it>Drosophila</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Retrogenes are processed copies of other genes. This duplication mechanism produces a copy of the parental gene that should not contain introns, and usually does not contain cis-regulatory regions. Here, we computationally address th...
