Ancient and nonuniform loss of olfactory receptor expression renders the shark nose a de facto vomeronasal organ

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Adnan S. Syed from the Institute of Genetics, Mathematical-Natural Sciences Faculty, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany have published the paper: Ancient and Nonuniform Loss of Olfactory Receptor Expression Renders the Shark Nose a De Facto Vomeronasal Organ, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: In the catshark Scyliorhinus canicula, the authors show that many V2R/OlfC receptors are expressed in the olfactory epithelium in the sparsely distributed pattern characteristic for olfactory receptors. The authors report that consistently, OR, TAAR, and V1R/ORA repertoires are very small and stable, whereas the V2R/OlfC repertoire is larger . . .
