Olfactory function in the trace amine-associated receptor family (TAARs) evolved twice independently
Abstract Olfactory receptor families have arisen independently several times during evolution. The origin of taar genes, one of the four major vertebrate olfactory receptor families, is disputed. We performed a phylogenetic analysis making use of 96 recently available genomes, and report that olfact...
