Evolution and origin of vomeronasal-type odorant receptor gene repertoire in fishes
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In teleost fishes that lack a vomeronasal organ, both main odorant receptors (ORs) and vomeronasal receptors family 2 (V2Rs) are expressed in the olfactory epithelium, and used for perception of water-soluble chemicals. In zebrafish,...
