Nature Communications, 2017 Emerging evidence suggests that lamins regulate gene expression during cellular differentiation. Giganteet al. show that lamin B1 is necessary for the upregulation of mature neuron-specific genes during olfactory neuron differentiation, and its ...

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Olfactory System Expression Characteristics of Aquatic Snakes
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Animal olfactory systems evolved with changes in habitat to detect odor cues from the environment. The aquatic environment, as a unique habitat, poses a formidable challenge for olfactory perception in animals, since the higher density and viscosity of ...

Science Translational Medicine, 2022 SARS-CoV-2 causes profound changes in the sense of smell, including total smell loss. Although these alterations are often transient, many patients with COVID-19 exhibit olfactory dysfunction that lasts months to years.

Update on the olfactory receptor (OR) gene superfamily [PDF]
Human Genomics, 2008 The olfactory receptor gene (OR) superfamily is the largest in the human genome. The superfamily contains 390 putatively functional genes and 465 pseudogenes arranged into 18 gene families and 300 subfamilies. Even members within the same subfamily are often located on different chromosomes.

The mouse olfactory receptor gene family [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 In mammals, odor detection in the nose is mediated by a diverse family of olfactory receptors (ORs), which are used combinatorially to detect different odorants and encode their identities. The OR family can be divided into subfamilies whose members are highly related and are likely to recognize structurally related odorants.

Coevolution of the olfactory organ and its receptor repertoire in ray-finned fishes
BMC Biology, 2022 Background Ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) perceive their environment through a range of sensory modalities, including olfaction. Anatomical diversity of the olfactory organ suggests that olfaction is differentially important among species. To explore

The human olfactory receptor gene family [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 Humans perceive an immense variety of chemicals as having distinct odors. Odor perception initiates in the nose, where odorants are detected by a large family of olfactory receptors (ORs). ORs have diverse protein sequences but can be assigned to subfamilies on the basis of sequence relationships.

Olfactory function in the trace amine-associated receptor family (TAARs) evolved twice independently
Scientific Reports, 2021 Olfactory receptor families have arisen independently several times during evolution. The origin of taar genes, one of the four major vertebrate olfactory receptor families, is disputed.

The Evolution of Mammalian Olfactory Receptor Genes [PDF]
Genetics, 1997 We performed a comparative study of four subfamilies of olfactory receptor genes first identified in the dog to assess changes in the gene family during mammalian evolution, and to begin linking the dog genetic map to that of humans. The human subfamilies were localized to chromosomes 7, 11, and 19.
