Abstract: Capturing conserved patterns in genes and proteins is important for inferring phenotype prediction and evolutionary analysis. The study is focused on the conserved patterns of the G protein-coupled receptors, an important superfamily of receptors. Olfactory receptors represent more than 2% of our genome and constitute the largest family of G protei... Show More
