They can also appear spontaneously during the replication of DNA. Mutations generally fall into two types: point mutations and chromosomal aberrations. In point mutations, one base pair is changed.

the findings represent a step forward in understanding the vast diversity of these types of cancers and highlight the ...

Deep-sea fish adapt to some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. New research analyzing their evolution finds the same ...

Scientists identify mutation patterns in healthy stomach lining, offering new insights into the earliest steps of cancer ...

A new study suggests genetic changes allow horses to produce more energy, while minimizing the toll the energy takes on cells ...

There are many different types of mutations which can arise in DNA. This diagram shows the normal order of the bases for one of the strands in a DNA molecule. Only one of the strands of DNA is ...

Mutation-carrying cell lines had much higher protein levels than wild type cells and proliferated more quickly. Diederichs and his colleagues made some headway on that goal in a 2019 study in which ...

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 ...

The BRAF mutation occurs in about 3% to 5% of all NSCLCs, making it a rare type of lung cancer. It’s found almost exclusively in the adenocarcinoma subtype, which starts in the outer areas of ...

Genetics can also influence whether you’ll get this disease. Several gene mutations have been linked to the development of type 2 diabetes. These gene mutations can interact with the environment ...
