Olfactory expression of trace amine-associated receptors requires cooperative cis-acting enhancers
Nature Communications, 2021 How olfactory sensory neurons express one allele of one TAAR gene is not well understood. Here the authors identify two cooperative cis-acting enhancers that govern TAAR gene choice and that share both similarities and differences with known olfactory ...

Advances on olfactory receptor gene [PDF]
Hereditas (Beijing), 2010 The olfactory sense plays a key role in animals'life time. The main gene related with olfaction was olfactory receptor (OR) gene. This review introduced the structure, expression regulation, distribution, molecular evolution and polymorphism of OR gene. The relationship between OR gene and olfactory function and olfactory deficits was also discussed.

Cell Reports, 2020 A mature olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) of the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) typically expresses one allele of one odorant receptor (OR) gene. It is widely thought that the great majority of the 1,141 intact mouse OR genes are expressed in one of four ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 The sense of smell is critical for the survival of insects, by which insects detect the odor signals in the environment and make appropriate behavioral responses such as host preference, mate choice, and oviposition site selection.

Advances in the Study of Olfaction in Eusocial Ants
Insects, 2021 Over the past decade, spurred in part by the sequencing of the first ant genomes, there have been major advances in the field of olfactory myrmecology.

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2016 How the evolution of olfactory genes correlates with adaption to new ecological niches is still a debated topic. We explored this issue in Drosophila suzukii, an emerging model that reproduces on fresh fruit rather than in fermenting substrates like most

Localized Expression of Olfactory Receptor Genes in the Olfactory Organ of Common Minke Whales
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Baleen whales (Mysticeti) possess the necessary anatomical structures and genetic elements for olfaction. Nevertheless, the olfactory receptor gene (OR) repertoire has undergone substantial degeneration in the cetacean lineage following the divergence of the Artiodactyla and Cetacea.

Integrated olfactory receptor and microarray gene expression databases
BMC Bioinformatics, 2007 Background Gene expression patterns of olfactory receptors (ORs) are an important component of the signal encoding mechanism in the olfactory system since they determine the interactions between odorant ligands and sensory neurons.

Otx2 expression and implications for olfactory imprinting in the anemonefish, Amphiprion percula
Biology Open, 2013 Summary The otx2 gene encodes a transcription factor (OTX2) essential in the formation of the brain and sensory systems. Specifically, OTX2-positive cells are associated with axons in the olfactory system of mice and otx2 is upregulated in odour-exposed ...
