Large-scale identification of odorant-binding proteins and chemosensory proteins from expressed sequence tags in insects

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) play an important role in chemical communication of insects. Gene discovery of these proteins is a time-consuming task. In recent years, expressed sequence tags...
