Abstract
⺠We introduce a model for the evolutionary growth of a miRNA gene regulation system. ⺠We focus on the role of gene duplication in the evolution of complexity. ⺠The model flexibly incorporates the positive and negative effects of gene duplication. ⺠The model is applied to Arabidopsis thaliana miRNAs. ⺠The growth of Arabidopsis mRNA systems should involve bidirectional evolutionary forces.
