Evidence for increased olfactory receptor gene repertoire size in two nocturnal bird species with well-developed olfactory ability

BACKGROUND: In vertebrates, the molecular basis of the sense of smell is encoded by members of a large gene family, namely olfactory receptor (OR) genes. Both the total number of OR genes and the proportion of intact OR genes in a genome may indicate the importance of the sense of smell for an anima...
