Abstract: Comparative transcriptomics of olfactory mucosae offers clues into the putative functions of highly abundant ORs in mammals. The mammalian olfactory system displays species-specific adaptations to different ecological niches. To investigate the evolutionary dynamics of olfactory… read more here.

Abstract: The mouse olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) repertoire is composed of 10 million cells and each expresses one olfactory receptor (OR) gene from a pool of over 1000. Thus, the nose is sub-stratified into more than… read more here.
