Evidence of peripheral olfactory impairment in the domestic silkworms: insight from the comparative transcriptome and population genetics

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background The insect olfactory system is a highly specific and sensitive chemical detector, which plays important roles in feeding, mating and finding an appropriate oviposition site.

Olfactory function in the trace amine-associated receptor family (TAARs) evolved twice independently

Scientific Reports, 2021
Olfactory receptor families have arisen independently several times during evolution. The origin of taar genes, one of the four major vertebrate olfactory receptor families, is disputed.

Trajectory-based differential expression analysis for single-cell sequencing data [PDF]

, 2020
Trajectory inference has radically enhanced single-cell RNA-seq research by enabling the study of dynamic changes in gene expression. Downstream of trajectory inference, it is vital to discover genes that are (i) associated with the lineages in the ...

Update on the olfactory receptor (OR) gene superfamily [PDF]

Human Genomics, 2008
The olfactory receptor gene (OR) superfamily is the largest in the human genome. The superfamily contains 390 putatively functional genes and 465 pseudogenes arranged into 18 gene families and 300 subfamilies. Even members within the same subfamily are often located on different chromosomes.

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.

The Olfactory Transcriptome and Progression of Sexual Maturation in Homing Chum Salmon Oncorhynchus keta. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Reproductive homing migration of salmonids requires accurate interaction between the reception of external olfactory cues for navigation to the spawning grounds and the regulation of sexual maturation processes.

Neurogenesis Drives Stimulus Decorrelation in a Model of the Olfactory Bulb [PDF]

, 2012
The reshaping and decorrelation of similar activity patterns by neuronal networks can enhance their discriminability, storage, and retrieval. How can such networks learn to decorrelate new complex patterns, as they arise in the olfactory system?

Air Pollution and the Risk and Progression of Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Air pollution has been linked to several neurological conditions, including stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Evidence regarding its association with multiple sclerosis (MS) remains conflicting, limited by small sample sizes. Methods PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane controlled register of trials (CENTRAL) were searched on ...

An epigenetic repressor TRIM66 dictates monogenic olfactory receptor expression, neural activity, and olfactory behavior

Nature Communications
Olfactory receptor gene choice is an intricate example of monogenic and monoallelic expression, where one out of over 1000 receptor genes is transcribed in each olfactory sensory neuron.

MOLECULAR BASIS OF PERIPHERAL OLFACTORY PLASTICITY IN Rhodnius prolixus, A CHAGAS DISEASE VECTOR

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Olfaction is fundamental for most animals and critical for different aspects of triatomine biology, including host-seeking, reproduction, avoidance of predators, and aggregation in shelters.
