TAAR gene candidates are divided into three categories: intact, incomplete and pseudogenes. The first number shown is that of intact genes, which contain full‐length open reading frames with seven complete transmembrane regions. The numbers of the incomplete genes due to contig ends and pseudogenes due to premature stop codons or frame‐shifting insertions or deletions are given in square brackets and in parentheses, respectively.
b
T1‐T9: TAAR1 to TAAR9.
c
These numbers were taken from Eyun et al.16
