Article Abstract:
The current view of molecular coding in the olfactory system is not complete, but is nevertheless very attractive in its simplicity and power. There are many issues still to be researched, including how the large receptor repertoires are controlled.

The good taste of genomics
Article Abstract:
It has been possible to identify a new family of bitter-taste receptors in mice and humans. However, it is unlikely that all the bitter-taste receptors have now been identified, as only 14% of the human genome was available to be searched.
