Unique evolutionary radiation of odorant receptors in birds

Robert J. Driver, Mona A. Marie, Victoria J. Ko…·Christopher N. Balakrishnan

The paper identifies a diverse and variable odorant receptor repertoire in birds, including the kiwi, and reveals gene conversion as a mechanism for generating functional diversity in avian olfaction.

Engineered odorant receptors illuminate structural principles of odor discrimination

Claire A. de March, Ning Ma, Christian B. Billesbølle…·Hiroaki Matsunami

The paper uses engineered odorant receptors to uncover structural principles of odor discrimination by solving cryoEM structures of consensus ORs and comparing their ligand recognition properties.
