Analysis of cattle olfactory subgenome: the first detail study on the characteristics of the complete olfactory receptor repertoire of a ruminant

Abstract: BackgroundMammalian olfactory receptors (ORs) are encoded by the largest mammalian multigene family. Understanding the OR gene repertoire in the cattle genome could lead to link the effects of genetic differences in these genes to variations in olfaction in cattle.ResultsWe report here a whole genome analysis of the olfactory receptor genes of Bos taurus using conserved OR gene-specific motifs and known OR protein sequences from diverse species. Our analysis, using the current cattle genome assembly UMD 3.1 co… Show more

“…We guessed that the difference among domesticated animals could remain in the OR genes. Previous study of cattle olfactory receptor gene reported that there was significant variation in the genetic component of olfactory receptor systems among artiodactyl species, indicating that the selection pressure for maintaining the integrity of olfactory receptor genes was lower in cattle compared to pigs [100]. These results supported that some CNVs in the selected QTL have been reflected in the evolutionary process during domestication by the missing functional domains of translated proteins resulting from genes affected by deleted CNVs.…”

“…Olfactory receptor related genes are well known for extensive gains and losses in mammalian evolution 70 . And population specific copy-number variations of olfactory receptor genes were also reported in human (deletions) 71 and cattle (gains) 72 . Nevertheless, this is the first report, to our knowledge, of homozygous deletion of olfactory receptor genes in cattle.…”
