The evolution of animal chemosensory receptor gene repertoires: roles of chance and necessity.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Dec 2008

Nei Masatoshi, Niimura Yoshihito, Nozawa Masafumi

Abstract excerpt

Chemosensory receptors are essential for the survival of organisms that range from bacteria to mammals. Recent studies have shown that the numbers of functional chemosensory receptor genes and pseudogenes vary enormously among the genomes of different animal species. Although much of the variatio...
