Type Excerpt DOI
Functional "Around 45 MYA, the cetacean family Remingtonocetidae underwent significant changes in their chemical senses, losing the VO and the D domain of the OB. At this time, V1Rs, OMACS, NQO1, olfactory TAARs as well as most of class I OR genes are speculated to have lost their functions." 10.1186/s40851-014-0002-z
Methodology & Validation "For the multi-exon OMACS, NQO1 and OCAM genes, we used the DNA sequence of each exon of the corresponding cow genes as a query and searched against the minke whale and dolphin genome assemblies using BLASTN with e-value cutoff of <1e-20 and without filtering query sequenc" 10.1186/s40851-014-0002-z
