Identification of novel genes for bitter taste receptors in sheep (Ovis aries)

Identification of novel genes for bitter taste receptors in sheep (Ovis aries)

Genetic studies on taste sensitivity, and bitter taste receptors (T2R) in particular, are an essential tool to understand ingestive behavior and its relation to variations of nutritional status occurring in ruminants. In the present study, we conducted a data-mining search to identify T2R candidates...
