Research Abstract |
We identified the entire olfactory receptor (OR) gene sets from primate genome data. Further, we determined the exome sequences from representatives of primates by high-throughput sequencer. From the comparative analyses using these data, we found that the morphological difference of nose between Strepsirrhine and Haplorhine more strongly affected the evolution of OR genes than the ecological difference between diurnal and nocturnal in primates. This result suggested that Strepsirrhine largely depend on olfaction.
