Natural Selection on the Olfactory Receptor Gene Family in Humans and Chimpanzees

The olfactory receptor (OR) genes constitute the largest gene family in mammalian genomes. Humans have >1,000 OR genes, of which only ∼40% have an intact coding region and are therefore putatively functional. In contrast, the fraction of intact OR genes in the genomes of the great apes is signifi...
