Project Details
Description
In mammals, odor-detecting neurons each produce a single type of olfactory receptor, which is chosen from a pool of thousands. Stavros Lomvardas is studying the mechanisms that determine which olfactory receptor gene is switched on in an individual cell, with the larger goal of understanding how cells orchestrate random choices that generate diversity.
