A transcriptomic atlas of mammalian olfactory mucosae reveals an evolutionary influence on food odor detection in humans
2019-02-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The mammalian olfactory system displays species-specific adaptations to different ecological niches. To investigate the evolutionary dynamics of olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) sub-types across 95 million years of mammalian evolution, we applied RNA-sequencing of whole olfactory mucosa samples from mouse, rat, dog, marmoset, macaque and human. We find that OSN subtypes representative of all known...
