Olfactory
receptor gene superfamily of the
mouse - Stuart
Firestein with Xinmin Zhang at Columbia University have
identified the mouse OR genes from the nearly complete
Celera mouse genome by a comprehensive data mining
strategy. They found 1,296 mouse OR genes (including 20%
pseudogenes). Human ORs cover a similar 'receptor space'
as the mouse ORs, suggesting that the human olfactory
system has retained the ability to recognize a broad
spectrum of chemicals even though humans have lost nearly
two-thirds of the OR genes as compared to mice.
The
human olfactory receptor
repertoire
- Scientists at Senomyx, Inc. have
identified a set of 347 human olfactory receptor genes,
which the Company believes represents substantially the
complete set of functional receptors related to
smell.
