Abstract
AbstractStudies on the odorant receptor cluster located on human chromosome 17, which contains 18 odorant receptor genes, are presented. After an extended search for orthologues of those odorant receptor genes in chimpanzee, rat and mouse genomes, comparisons subject to genomic location, similarities and function were made. Different ways of evolutionary propagation can be observed. This leads to conversion into pseudogenes, but also duplication of some genes occurs. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
