Functional analysis of a subset of canine olfactory receptor genes

Article Abstract:

The exploration of the level complexity of the combinatorial olfactory code that allows mammals with a repertoire of about thousand putatively active olfactory receptors encoded in their genomes to recognize and identify a much larger repertoire of odorant molecules is presented.

Analysis of the unassembled part of the dog genome sequence: Chromosomal localization of 115 genes inferred from multispecies comparative genomics

Article Abstract:

A two-step comparative analysis is done to infer a canine chromosomal interval for localization of the chrUn genes by constructing a human-dog synteny map. Results reveal that dog chromosomal intervals for chrUn genes could be rapidly inferred using a reference species.

Olfactory Receptor Sequence Polymorphism Within and Between Breeds of Dogs

Article Abstract:

Research on 95 dogs and 20 breeds regarding polymorphisms in olfactory receptor sequences shows that certain alleles are specific to certain breeds, or occur rarely in the dog population. Other findings are included.
