Expert curation of the human and mouse olfactory receptor gene repertoires identifies conserved coding regions split across two exons
Abstract Background Olfactory receptor (OR) genes are the largest multi-gene family in the mammalian genome, with 874 in human and 1483 loci in mouse (including pseudogenes). The expansion of the OR gene repertoire has occurred through numerous duplication events followed by diversification, resulti...
