Use of L-system mathematics for making new subfamily members of olfactory receptor full length genes, OR1D2, OR1D4 and OR1D5
Abstract
Ligands for only two human olfactory receptors are known. One of them, OR1D2, binds to Bourgeonal [Malnic B, Godfrey P-A, Buck L-B (2004) The human olfactory receptor gene family. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci U. S. A. 101: 2584-2589 and Erratum in: Proc Natl Acad Sci U. S. A. (2004) 101: 7205]. OR1D2, OR1D4 and OR1D5 are three full length olfactory receptors present in an olfactory locus in human genome. These receptors are more than 80% identical in DNA sequences and have 108 base pair mismatches among them. We have used L-system mathematics and have been able to show a closely related subfamily of OR1D2, OR1D4 and OR1D5.
