  1. Cichid TAAR genes were retrieved from the genome sequences determined by the BROAD Institute [23], as explained in the Methods section. Medaka, stickleback, fugu and zebrafish TAAR genes were obtained from Hashiguchi and Nishida [8]. The stickleback and medaka repertoires were updated for this work. The first numbers in brackets correspond to the gene numbers retrieved from Hashiguchi and Nishida [8] and the second number is the gene number assigned in this work. The tetraodon TAAR genes were retrieved from ENSEMBL and further characterized in this work.
