Molecular zip codes for odor receptor gene choice in Drosophila. Scanning electron micrograph of a Drosophila head overlaid with expression patterns of four odor receptor genes in the antenna (blue, yellow, and magenta) and the maxillary palp (green). Sequences represent cis elements conserved upstream of odor receptor genes across 12 Drosophila species.
