• Are these differences real?• Mechanism of the differences?
• Amplification vs gene loss
• Why are some subfamilies unbalanced and not others?
• Phenotypic consequences of the differences?

• Differences due to species-specific tandem duplications, not due to conversion into pseudogenes.

ConclusionConclusion
• Likely new olfactory receptor subfamily
• Closely related to sra subfamily• ~50% more members in elegans
than briggsae• Specific expression in both amphid
& phasmid sensory neurons

Next StepsNext Steps
• Continue refining families in the 2 species• More novel candidate (sub)families,
one with ~100 members.
• Characterize expression patterns
