The olfactory gene repertoire is largely species-specific, shaped by the nature and necessity of chemosensory information for survival in each species' niche. We are intrigued by this interspecific variation and started to investigate the olfactory transcriptome in primates for evidence of selection at the level of receptor gene choice. Having collected this data from two primates, we now wish to extend the analysis to macaques.  This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/
In this study RNA was extracted from the olfactory mucosa of three macaques. The RNA was sequenced using the Illumina Hiseq2500 platform.
