RNA ligase-mediated rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RLM-RACE) was performed using the GeneRacer KitTM as previously described (Michaloski et al., 2006). Total olfactory mucosa RNA was purified from C57BL/6 using TRIzol (Invitrogen, Cat. No. 15596026), following the user guide workflow. The following primers were used to amplify the Olfr17 gene 5′-UTR: P2_R: TCCTGGAGTATCAGAGTACTC and P2_R_NESTED: CAGAGCAAGAGTCAGCTGTAG.
