April 28, 2021Human local adaptation of the TRPM8 cold receptor along a latitudinal cline
April 7, 2021Stumbled onto this paper. Thought the conclusion that Europeans were more cold-sensitive due to TRPM8 was quite counter-intuitive – but interesting nevertheless

December 17, 2020Sequence Variants in TAAR5 & Other Loci Affect Human Odor Perception & Naming https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(20)31343-9 A variant in TAAR5 affects the perception of fish odor. Interesting to consider in relation to pseudogenization of the olfactory receptors
While about half of human odorant receptors are thought to be pseudogenes with loss-of-function, the Decode Genetics folks show that some sequence variants in odorant receptor genes are not
loss-of-function.
