Family structure and phylogenetic analysis of odorant receptor genes in the large yellow croaker (<it>Larimichthys crocea</it>)

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Chemosensory receptors, which are all G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), come in four types: odorant receptors (ORs), vomeronasal receptors, trace-amine associated receptors and formyl peptide receptor-like proteins. The ORs are th...
