Abstract excerpt
Genomic analysis was performed for the murine odorant receptor (OR) genes. The MOR28 cluster on chromosome 14 was extensively studied. It contains six OR genes, MOR28, 10, 83, 29A, 29B and 30. The human homolog of this cluster is located on the human chromosome 14, and contains five OR genes, HOR28/10, 83, 29A, 29B and 30. Sequence comparison of these OR gene paralogs and orthologs suggests that the coding...
