Background: Olfactory receptor (OR) genes are highly polymorphic and form extensive families that recognize a wide range of vertebrate odorants. To explore the genetic diversity of MHC-linked OR genes and their connection to MHC genes, we conducted a combined haplotype analysis of MHC-linked OR and MHC class I genes to determine the influence of MHC on OR diversity, which could be associated with MHC-based mate selection.
Results: We selected nine MHC-linked OR genes based on their expression levels in pig testes and developed a sequence-based typing method for these genes.
