Pronounced strain-specific chemosensory receptor gene expression in the mouse vomeronasal organ

Abstract Background The chemosensory system plays an important role in orchestrating sexual behaviors in mammals. Pheromones trigger sexually dimorphic behaviors and different mouse strains exhibit differential responses to pheromone stimuli. It has been speculated that differential gene expression...
