Worldwide study of the taste of bitter medicines and their modifiers

This study examines bitterness perception of medicines and modifiers across diverse ancestries, finding ancestry-related differences in bitterness ratings and genetic associations with taste sensitivity.

Co-localized SNPs Affecting the Expression of Taste Perception Genes are linked to Alzheimer's Disease

The paper identifies SNPs affecting taste perception genes linked to Alzheimer's disease through eQTL and pQTL analyses.

Administration of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Strain BB-12 (R) in Healthy Children: Characterization, Functional Composition, and Metabolism of the Gut Microbiome

This study examines the impact of probiotic yogurt containing two or three bacterial strains on gut microbiome and metabolome in healthy children, finding no global diversity changes but reduced fecal metabolites in the three-strain group.

The genetics of eating behaviors: research in the age of COVID-19

This study investigates the genetic and environmental influences on food involvement through twin data and examines the impact of COVID-19 on taste and smell.

SeqEnhDL: sequence-based classification of cell type-specific enhancers using deep learning models

SeqEnhDL classifies cell type-specific enhancers using deep learning, outperforming existing methods and directly distinguishing enhancers from different cell types.

Studies of human twins reveal genetic variation that affects dietary fat perception

The paper investigates genetic factors influencing dietary fat perception using twin studies and GWAS, finding genetic variants associated with potato chip liking.
