Mutations in man are responsible for the kinds of hereditary differences we have already discussed, and can produce, as well, such effects as early fetal death, stillbirth, diseases such as ...

Finally, still other sources of mutations are the many different types of transposable elements, which are small entities of DNA that possess a mechanism that permits them to move around within ...

Somatic mutations take place in non-reproductive cells. Many kinds of somatic mutations have no obvious effect on an organism, because genetically normal body cells are able to compensate for the ...

New research suggests that frequent blood donation can trigger genetic changes that might protect certain stem cells from ...

A recent study from Yale University has shed light on how different factors contribute to DNA mutations that drive cancer ...

the findings represent a step forward in understanding the vast diversity of these types of cancers and highlight the importance of analyzing the cellular "state" prior to mutation. To perform ...

Lu was familiar with the kinds of mutations that cause VHL. They typically involve nucleotide changes that alter the amino acid sequence of the VHL protein, rendering it dysfunctional, although ...

For the first time, scientists have systematically analyzed somatic mutations in stomach lining tissue to unpick mutational ...

Neurons collected from brain lesions in MS patients were found to accumulate new genetic mutations faster than healthy nerve ...

the findings represent a step forward in understanding the vast diversity of these types of cancers and highlight the importance of analysing the cellular "state" prior to mutation. STRACK ...
