† CSPs—chemosensory specific proteins, GRs—gustatory receptors, IRs/IGluRs- ionotropic receptors/ionotropic glutamate receptors, OBPs- odorant binding proteins, ORs- odorant receptors, SNMPs- sensory neuron membrane proteins.
Number of genes in parentheses represents putative pseudogenes i.e. either incomplete genes or genes missing functional domain.
