    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 diversit...
