Sex- and tissue-specific transcriptome analyses and expression profiling of olfactory-related genes in Ceracris nigricornis Walker (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background The sophisticated insect olfactory system plays an important role in recognizing external odors and enabling insects to adapt to environment.

The olfactory transcriptomes of mice. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2014
The olfactory (OR) and vomeronasal receptor (VR) repertoires are collectively encoded by 1700 genes and pseudogenes in the mouse genome. Most OR and VR genes were identified by comparative genomic techniques and therefore, in many of those cases, only ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of the development of mouse olfactory system from prenatal to postnatal period

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2023
IntroductionThe olfactory epithelium (OE) and olfactory bulb (OB) are the major components of the olfactory system and play critical roles in olfactory perception.

Rapid evolution of chemosensory receptor genes in a pair of sibling species of orchid bees (Apidae: Euglossini). [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundInsects rely more on chemical signals (semiochemicals) than on any other sensory modality to find, identify, and choose mates. In most insects, pheromone production is typically regulated through biosynthetic pathways, whereas pheromone sensory

Disease-specific, neurosphere-derived cells as models for brain disorders [PDF]

, 2010
There is a pressing need for patient-derived cell models of brain diseases that are relevant and robust enough to produce the large quantities of cells required for molecular and functional analyses.

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 ...

Effects of diazinon on olfactory epithelium and genes related to olfactory signal transduction in Caspian roach, Rutilus caspicus [PDF]

Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2021
Olfaction in fishes is biologically-essential chemoreceptors. It provokes important behaviors for the survival of fish such as feeding, reproduction, avoiding predator and intraspecific communication.

Olfactory Receptor Gene Polymorphisms and Nonallergic Vasomotor Rhinitis [PDF]

Journal of Asthma, 2008
We sought a genotype-phenotype association: between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in olfactory receptor (OR) genes from the two largest OR gene clusters and odor-triggered nonallergic vasomotor rhinitis (nVMR). In the initial pedigree screen, using transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) analysis, six SNPs showed "significant" p-values between ...

An Olfactory Receptor Pseudogene whose Function emerged in Humans [PDF]

, 2007
Human olfactory receptor, hOR17-210, is identified as a pseudogene in the human genome. Experimental data has shown however, that the gene product of cloned hOR17-210 cDNA was able to bind an odorant-binding protein and is narrowly tuned for excitation ...

Integrated olfactory receptor and microarray gene expression databases [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2007
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. We have developed the Olfactory Receptor Microarray Database (ORMD) to house OR gene expression data.
