Genomic variation in the vomeronasal receptor gene repertoires of inbred mice

Genomic variation in the vomeronasal receptor gene repertoires of inbred mice

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Vomeronasal receptors (VRs), expressed in sensory neurons of the vomeronasal organ, are thought to bind pheromones and mediate innate behaviours. The mouse reference genome has over 360 functional VRs arranged in highly homologous cl...
