Selective pressures on the olfactory receptor repertoire since the human-chimpanzee divergence.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Jun 2004

Gimelbrant Alexander A, Skaletsky Helen, Chess Andrew

Abstract excerpt

The availability of the sequence of the chimpanzee genome provides an opportunity to examine human genes and their chimpanzee orthologs and to analyze selective pressures that have been shaping the olfactory receptor repertoire since the human-chimpanzee divergence. We determined the ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous changes for each of 186 orthologous pairs and then examined how the distribution of these...
