Multiple loss-of-function variants of taste receptors in modern humans.

Scientific reports - 26 Aug 2015

Fujikura Kohei

Abstract excerpt

Despite recent advances in the knowledge of interindividual taste differences, the underlying genetic backgrounds have remained to be fully elucidated. Much of the taste variation among different mammalian species can be explained by pseudogenization of taste receptors. Here I investigated whether the most recent disruptions of taste receptor genes segregate with their intact forms in modern humans by analyzing...
