11 .They found that people who perceived smells similarly also had similar HLA types.

13 ."For organ donation you can think of this method as a quick, maybe a quick and dirty, method to sift between the best and the rest."

14 .He and his colleagues say it might even eliminate the need for 30 percent of the HLA tests done today.

18 .You would get a set of scratch and sniff cards, you can sniff them, derive your olfactory fingerprint,
该句暂无译文！
19 .and then you can look up for people who are similar to you or dissimilar to you in olfactory perception."

20 .Factor in the 20-year-old tee-shirt study and olfactory fingerprints should also play a role in romantic preferences.
