Wang et al. used transcriptomic profiles of olfactory sensory neurons to determine the identity of their odorant receptors and map the location of their corresponding glomeruli on the olfactory bulb surface. The method enables high-throughput molecular mapping of the glomerular layout and opens up new venues to understand olfactory processing.
