The abstract is read at the publisher; the summary is JClub's.
M2iOR, a curated insect odorant receptor database, compiles 35,891 bioassay experiments covering 30,348 distinct OR–molecule pairs across 41 publications.
- Why it matters: Existing insect OR–ligand interaction findings are scattered and inconsistent across species and experimental reporting, which limits systematic, comparative analysis.
- What they did: The database centralizes standardized metadata, including ligand structures, receptor sequences, species, mixture details, and experimental context, and supports flexible querying and batch searches.
- The result: Users can retrieve activity profiles, classify agonists versus nonagonists for specific insect ORs, and download a binarized combinatorial representation for downstream computational studies.
