dc.description.abstractThis thesis reports the first assessment of OR variation in Bathyergidae, and therefore, the first for a family of subterranean mammals. Using a PCR-sequencing approach, 178 unique OR sequences, corresponding to 119 unique OR genes are characterised from 14 mole-rat species. Bathyergidae OR genes are classified using sequence similarity and phylogenetic comparison with more than 50 mammalian OR subgenomes.en_ZA
