In this paper, we undertake a systematic study of sequences generated by recurrences $x_{m+n}x_m = P(x_{m+1},\dots,x_{m+n-1})$ which exhibit the Laurent phenomenon. Some of the most famous among these are the Somos and the Gale-Robinson sequences. Our approach is based on finding period 1 seeds of Laurent phenomenon algebras of T. Lam and P. Pylyavskyy ["Laurent phenomenon algebras", Camb. J. Math. 4, No. 1, 121--162 (2016; doi:10.4310/cjm.2016.v4.n1.a2)]. We completely classify polynomials $P$ that generate period 1 seeds in the cases of $n=2$, $3$ and of mutual binomial seeds. We also find several other interesting families of polynomials $P$ whose generated sequences exhibit the Laurent phenomenon. Our classification for binomial seeds is a direct generalization of a result by Fordy and Marsh, that employs a new combinatorial gadget we call a double quiver.
