OMG, that is great! I love Stewie, he and Brian are the whole reason I watch the show. I can’t wait, if someone knows when it is airing can you post the date?
wo intermediate-frequency haplotypes corresponding to taster and nontaster phenotypes were found. These haplotypes had similar frequencies across Africa, Asia, and Europe. Genetic differentiation between the continental population samples was low (FST = 0.056) in comparison with estimates based on other genes. In addition, Tajima’s D and Fu and Li’s D and F statistics demonstrated a significant deviation from neutrality because of an excess of intermediate-frequency variants when human population growth was taken into account (P<.01). These results combine to suggest that balancing natural selection has acted to maintain taster and nontaster alleles at the PTC locus in humans. ——————————- 70-556 | 70-557 | 70-558 | 70-559
