Complex evolution of 7E olfactory receptor genes in segmental duplications
Tera Newman and Barbara J. Trask
Using a newer human genome assembly (May 2004, hg17), a better alignment and more stringent criteria, the authors find far fewer putative instances of ectopic exchanges involving the 7E subfamily of odorant receptor pseudogenes than originally reported (Newman and Trask 2003). Each of the three legs of support for this phenomenon is weakened. …
