A new olfactory receptor database (ORDB) is available online, compiling over 400 olfactory receptor sequences. Future updates will integrate functional and structural data for a comprehensive model of olfactory receptor function.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Olfactory receptors represent a large and complex gene family.
  • Analyzing olfactory receptor data is challenging due to its scale.
  • A centralized resource is needed for efficient study.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an olfactory receptor database (ORDB).
  • To provide web-based access to olfactory receptor sequences and information.
  • To create an integrated model of olfactory receptor function.

Main Methods:

  • Compiling olfactory receptor sequences.
  • Gathering related biological information.
  • Developing a web-accessible platform.

Main Results:

  • An olfactory receptor database (ORDB) has been established.
  • ORDB currently contains over 400 olfactory receptor sequences.
  • The database is accessible via the World Wide Web.

Conclusions:

  • The ORDB facilitates the analysis of the olfactory receptor gene family.
  • Future integration of functional, structural, and spatial data is planned.
  • The database aims to provide an integrated model of olfactory receptor function.
