Convergent degeneration of olfactory receptor gene repertoires in marine mammals

BACKGROUND: Olfactory receptors (ORs) can bind odor molecules and play a crucial role in odor sensation. Due to the frequent gains and losses of genes during evolution, the number of OR members varies greatly among different species. However, whether the extent of gene gains/losses varies between ma...
