Demographic history was a formative mechanism of the genetic structure for the taste receptor TAS2R16 in human populations inhabiting Africa's Sahel/Savannah Belt
Original language description
Analysing the specific segment of taste receptor TAS2R16, we did not found evidence for selection as suggested in some previous studies, instead, we discovered a highly significant correlation between genetic and geographical distances of the analyzed populations suggesting that genetic drift most likely prevailed over positive selection. We provide several alternative and not mutually exclusive theories explaining the population history of the Sahel/Savannah belt seen by the optic of this specific gene segment. We think that due to the pleiotropic nature of TAS2R16, selective pressures on other traits could counterbalance those acting on bitter taste perception, or that the change of subsistence associated with the Neolithic economy had relaxed selective pressure on this gene.
