Identification of a Bitter-Taste Receptor Gene Repertoire in Different Lagomorphs Species
The repertoires of bitter-taste receptor (T2R) gene have been described for several animal species, but these data are still scarce for Lagomorphs. The aim of the present work is to identify potential repertoires of T2R in several Lagomorph species, covering a wide geographical distribution. We stud...
