Evolutionary dynamics of olfactory receptor genes in chordates: interaction between environments and genomic contents
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Olfaction is essential for the survival of animals. Versatile odour molecules in the environment are received by olfactory receptors (ORs), which form the largest multigene family in vertebrates. Identification of the entire repertories of OR genes using bioinfor...
