Abstract excerpt
We report the 897 kb sequence of a cluster of olfactory receptor (OR) genes located at the distal end of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I region on mouse chromosome 17 of strain 129/SvJ (H2bc). With additional information from the mouse genome draft sequence, we identified 59 OR loci (approximately 20% pseudogenes) in contrast to only 25 OR loci (approximately 50% pseudogenes) in the...
