Characterizing the expression of Pan troglodytes olfactory receptor genes. Pan troglodytes

We aim, among other things, to characterize olfactory receptor (OR) genes wich are differentially expressed between olfactory epithelium (OE) and other organ tissues, in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), and to make comparisons with human data from a previous series using the same platform. Keywords: Comparative Overall design: Four OE samples and eight non-OE samples, including two samples of the following tissues: heart, liver, lung, and testis.
