Supersensitive Odorant Receptor Underscores Pleiotropic Roles of Indoles in Mosquito Ecology

Mosquitoes exhibit highly diverse and fast evolving odorant receptors (ORs). The indole-sensitive OR gene clade, comprised of Or2 and Or10 is a notable exception on account of its conservation in both mosquito subfamilies. This group of paralogous genes exhibits a complex developmental expression pa...
