The olfactory gene repertoire is largely species-specific, shaped by the nature and necessity of chemosensory information for survival in each species' niche. We are intrigued by this interspecific variation and aim to investigate the olfactory transcriptome across mammals for evidence of selection at the level of receptor gene choice. Having collected this data from mice, rats, cows, and two primates, we now wish to extend the analysis to our final species, the dog. This data is part of a pre-publication release.
