Further bulk and single-nucleus transcriptome analysis shows that, although most orco-expressing ORNs die in orco mutants, a small proportion of them survive: They express ionotropic receptor (Ir) genes that form IR complexes. In addition, we found that some Or genes are expressed in mechanosensory neurons and nonneuronal cells, possibly due to leaky regulation from nearby non-Or genes."<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ants</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/genetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genetics</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroscience</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/olfaction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#olfaction</a>
