From musk to body odor: Decoding olfaction through genetic variation. by Bingjie Li, Marissa L Kamarck, Qianqian Peng, Fei-Ling Lim, Andreas Keller, Monique A M Smeets, Joel D Mainland, Sijia Wang

“…Furthermore, we also found that the derived alleles of the SNPs tend to be associated with reduced odor intensity, supporting the hypothesis that the primate olfactory gene repertoire has degenerated over time. This study provides information about coding for human body odor, and gives us insight into broader mechanisms of olfactory coding, such as how differential OR activation can converge on a similar percept.…”
