Molecular reconstruction of recurrent evolutionary switching in olfactory receptor specificity

Molecular reconstruction of recurrent evolutionary switching in olfactory receptor specificity

Olfactory receptor repertoires exhibit remarkable functional diversity, but how these proteins have evolved is poorly understood. Through analysis of extant and ancestrally reconstructed drosophilid olfactory receptors from the Ionotropic receptor (Ir) family, we investigated evolution of two organi...
