A comparison of reptilian and avian olfactory receptor gene repertoires: Species-specific expansion of group γ genes in birds

BACKGROUND: The detection of odorants is mediated by olfactory receptors (ORs). ORs are G-protein coupled receptors that form a remarkably large protein superfamily in vertebrate genomes. We used data that became available through recent sequencing efforts of reptilian and avian genomes to identify...
