Expression of Olfactory Sense-Related Genes in Chicken Olfactory Epithelium
The Journal of Poultry ScienceOlfaction plays a key role in the selection and acquisition of feed as well as its vision and gustation. Although olfactory behavior in chickens is speculated to depend on olfactory receptors, trace-amine-associated receptors (TAARs), and its signaling ...

Homozygous deletion of six olfactory receptor genes in a subset of individuals with Beta-thalassemia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Progress in the functional studies of human olfactory receptors has been largely hampered by the lack of a reliable experimental model system. Although transgenic approaches in mice could characterize the function of individual olfactory receptors, the ...

Comparative Analysis Reveals the Adaptive Evolution of Olfactory System in the Swamp Eel (Monopterus albus) Based on the Chromosome‐Level Genome [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe swamp eel (Monopterus albus), known for its benthic and nocturnal feeding habits, exhibits a keen sense of smell. To date, the genomic basis for its adaptive evolution of olfactory system was poorly investigated.
