Our paper examining how genetic variation in olfactory receptors alters odor perception is now out in @PNASNews. I want to highlight a couple things that are cool, but not in the abstract. pnas.org/content/early/… @casey_trimmer@pollyp1@AndreasKellerNY@MonellSc
First, only ~50/400 human receptors have a published ligand. Many have assumed this is because the receptor assays we use are missing a critical component.
