The olfactory gene repertoire is largely species-specific, shaped by the nature and necessityof chemosensory information for survival in each species' niche. We are intrigued by thisinterspecific variation and aim to investigate the olfactory transcriptome across mammals forevidence of selection at the level of receptor gene choice. Having collected this data frommice and rats, we now wish to extend the analysis to cows, and three primates. All of whichhave a well annotated olfactory sub-genome.This data is part of a pre-publication release.
