Conserved repertoire of orthologous vomeronasal type 1 receptor genes in ruminant species

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In mammals, pheromones play an important role in social and innate reproductive behavior within species. In rodents, vomeronasal receptor type 1 (V1R), which is specifically expressed in the vomeronasal organ, is thought to detect ph...
