Global diversity in the TAS2R38 bitter taste receptor: revisiting a classic evolutionary PROPosal

Global diversity in the TAS2R38 bitter taste receptor: revisiting a classic evolutionary PROPosal

The ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) is a polymorphic trait mediated by the TAS2R38 bitter taste receptor gene. It has long been hypothesized that global genetic diversity at this locus evolved under pervasive pressures from balancing natural selection. Howe...
