Diverse evolutionary rates and gene duplication patterns among families of functional olfactory receptor genes in humans

In humans, odors are detected by ~400 functional olfactory receptor (OR) genes. The superfamily of functional OR genes can be further divided into tens of families. In large part, the OR genes have experienced extensive tandem duplications, which have led to gene gains and losses. However, whether d...
