Promoter architecture of mouse olfactory receptor genes [PDF]
Genome Research, 2011 Odorous chemicals are detected by the mouse main olfactory epithelium (MOE) by about 1100 types of olfactory receptors (OR) expressed by olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). Each mature OSN is thought to express only one allele of a single OR gene. Major impediments to understand the transcriptional control of OR gene expression are the lack of a proper ...

Identification and Expression Profiling of Chemosensory Genes in Dendrolimus punctatus Walker
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Dendrolimus punctatus Walker is a serious pest affecting conifers in southern China. As extensive pesticide spraying is currently required to control D. punctatus, new control strategies are urgently needed.

Competence, specification and commitment to an olfactory placode fate [PDF]
, 2008 The nasal placode shares a common origin with other sensory placodes within a pre-placodal domain at the cranial neural plate border. However, little is known about early events in nasal placode development as it segregates from prospective lens, neural ...

Deep sequencing of the murine olfactory receptor neuron transcriptome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The ability of animals to sense and differentiate among thousands of odorants relies on a large set of olfactory receptors (OR) and a multitude of accessory proteins within the olfactory epithelium (OE). ORs and related signaling mechanisms have been the

Widespread ectopic expression of olfactory receptor genes [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2006 Abstract Background Olfactory receptors (ORs) are the largest gene family in the human genome. Although they are expected to be expressed specifically in olfactory tissues, some ectopic expression has been reported, with special emphasis on sperm and testis.

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.

Identification of novel post-transcriptional features in olfactory receptor family mRNAs. [PDF]
, 2015 Olfactory receptor (Olfr) genes comprise the largest gene family in mice. Despite their importance in olfaction, how most Olfr mRNAs are regulated remains unexplored.

Human specific loss of olfactory receptor genes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Olfactory receptor (OR) genes constitute the basis for the sense of smell and are encoded by the largest mammalian gene superfamily of >1,000 genes. In humans, >60% of these are pseudogenes. In contrast, the mouse OR repertoire, although of roughly equal size, contains only ≈20% pseudogenes.
