A purely bioinformatic pipeline for the prediction of mammalian odorant receptor gene enhancers

Abstract Background In most mammals, a vast array of genes coding for chemosensory receptors mediates olfaction. Odorant receptor (OR) genes generally constitute the largest multifamily (> 1100 intact members in the mouse). From the whole pool, each olfactory neuron expresses a single OR allele f...
