Antennal transcriptome and proteome analysis of olfactory genes and tissue expression profiling of odorant binding proteins in wohlfahrtia magnifica [PDF]
Wohlfahrtia magnifica is a species of fly that parasitizes Bactrian camels. The adult flies lay their larvae near the vulva of the camels, and these larvae develop and cause damage to the vaginal tissues, resulting in vaginal myiasis.

The giant pouched rat (Cricetomys ansorgei) olfactory receptor repertoire.
For rodents, olfaction is essential for locating food, recognizing mates and competitors, avoiding predators, and navigating their environment. It is thought that rodents may have expanded olfactory receptor repertoires in order to specialize in ...

Unfolding the Mystery of Olfactory Receptor Gene Expression [PDF]
Reporting recently in Cell, Dalton et al. (2013) identify a central role for the unfolded protein response in the regulation of olfactory receptor expression, unveiling molecular players in an elaborate feedback loop that controls the stabilization and establishment of single olfactory receptor gene choice.

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Olfactory System Expression Characteristics of Aquatic Snakes
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 ...

Olfactory receptor gene abundance in invasive breast carcinoma [PDF]
AbstractExpression of olfactory receptors (ORs) has been reported in many human tissues outside the nasal epithelium. ORs have been validated as biomarkers in prostate cancer. In breast cancer, however, the expression and role of OR genes remain understudied.

The Anaphase-Promoting Complex (APC) ubiquitin ligase affects chemosensory behavior in \u3cem\u3eC. elegans\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
The regulation of fundamental aspects of neurobiological function has been linked to the ubiquitin signaling system (USS), which regulates the degradation and activity of proteins and is catalyzed by E1, E2, and E3 enzymes. The Anaphase-Promoting Complex

Activity-Dependent Genes in Mouse Olfactory Sensory Neurons [PDF]
Activity-dependent survival of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) may allow animals to tune their olfactory systems to match their odor environment. Activity-dependent genes should play important roles in this process, motivating experiments to identify them.
