Evolution of C2H2-zinc finger genes and subfamilies in mammals: Species-specific duplication and loss of clusters, genes and effector domains

Hamsa D Tadepally, Gertraud Burger, Muriel Aubry BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:176 (18 June 2008)

Extensive mapping of zinc finger transcription factors across five mammalian species provides a comprehensive insight into the duplication and degeneration of genes in different lineages during the evolution of this family.

Characterizing the expression of the human olfactory receptor gene family using a novel DNA microarray

Xiaohong Zhang, Omar De la Cruz, Jayant M Pinto, Dan Nicolae, Stuart Firestein, Yoav Gilad Genome Biology 2007, 8:R86 (17 May 2007)

Using a microarray, expression of 76% of predicted human olfactory receptor genes was detected in olfactory epithelia, and many were expressed in non-olfactory tissues.

Ancient genomic architecture for mammalian olfactory receptor clusters

Ronny Aloni, Tsviya Olender, Doron Lancet Genome Biology 2006, 7:R88 (1 October 2006)

A new tool for genome-wide definition of genomic gene clusters conserved in multiple species was applied to olfactory receptors in five mammals, demonstrating that most mammalian olfactory receptor clusters have a common ancestry.

The dog and rat olfactory receptor repertoires

Pascale Quignon, Mathieu Giraud, Maud Rimbault, Patricia Lavigne, Sandrine Tacher, Emmanuelle Morin, Elodie Retout, Anne-Sophie Valin, Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, Jacques Nicolas, Francis Galibert Genome Biology 2005, 6:R83 (28 September 2005)

An almost complete list of odorant receptor genes in the dog (1,094 genes) and the rat (1,493 genes) is described. A comparison of odorant receptor repertoires in rat, dog, mouse and human is also included.
