Localized Expression of Olfactory Receptor Genes in the Olfactory Organ of Common Minke Whales

Localized Expression of Olfactory Receptor Genes in the Olfactory Organ of Common Minke Whales

Baleen whales (Mysticeti) possess the necessary anatomical structures and genetic elements for olfaction. Nevertheless, the <i>olfactory receptor</i> gene (<i>OR</i>) repertoire has undergone substantial degeneration in the cetacean lineage following the divergence of the Art...
