Why We Hate Cilantro
I want to analysis SNP in coding region of olfactory receptor. In 2012, researchers studied SNP correlated with cilantro preference, and they found an SNP rs72921001 influence people’s feeling of cilantro. They said rs72921001 is a frequently accured SNP (an A -> C in DNA sequence) in OR6A2, an olfactory receptor.
Resonable, right? I immediately think this could cause an amino acid missense mutation. However, when I searched this SNP in Ensembl, I found it is located at upstream flanking region of OR10A2, and OR6A2 is another gene… Now I think maybe the name is changed during this time, and rs72921001 might influence the expression of OR10A2 in gene level… Umm.
Can I get more imformation of SNP in olfactory receptor? Let’s try by R!
