Discover Latest #Mutation News, Articles and Videos with Contenting
Don't Miss Mutation News, Articles and Videos Mutation news, articles and videos from around the web. Read about the latest developments in genetic mutation, cancer mutations, and other health-related topics. Mutation is the process by which a gene or DNA sequence undergoes a change that results in a different phenotype, or physical trait, compared to other individuals in the same species. Mutations can occur naturally, as a result of genetic recombination, or through external agents such as radiation, chemicals, or viruses. Mutations can have both beneficial and harmful effects, and can be the cause of genetic diseases, birth defects, and even cancer. In recent years, scientists have been able to identify and study specific genes that are associated with particular traits, and to understand how mutations in those genes can lead to diseases. This has enabled researchers to develop targeted treatments for certain conditions, such as cancer, and to better understand the role of genes in development and evolution. Stay up to date on the latest news, articles, and videos about mutations from around the web. Learn more about how mutations can affect health, how scientists are using mutational analysis to develop treatments for diseases, and how mutations can help us understand the
New multiple myeloma-like score assesses disease severity and risk of progression to active cancer
A new risk assessment score developed by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard reveals how multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, begins and progresses from precancerous to malignant states by tracing DNA mutations.
A class of interesting permutation groups | Peter Cameron's Blog
This is the class of primitive groups having an imprimitive subgroup of index 2. Let us make them almost simple as well. For a boring name, I will call this class (P). So I begin with two questions for specialists: Have you met this class before? In what context? What do you think are the…
Rats in Australia may have genetic mutation that increases resistance to widely used poisons
A team of wildlife management specialists, environmental toxicologists and geneticists at the Conservation and Biodiversity Research Center, Edith Cowan University, in Australia, has found that some black rats living in Australian cities have developed a genetic mutation that potentially increases their resistance to the most popular poisons used to kill them.
Study reveals how FOXA1 mutations drive prostate cancer and therapy resistance
A new study from the University of Michigan Rogel Health Cancer Center, published in Science, sheds light on how two distinct classes of mutations in the FOXA1 gene-commonly altered in prostate cancer-drive tumor initiation formation and therapeutic resistance.
Travels, 11 | Peter Cameron's Blog
The next morning, after a very good hotel breakfast, we were checked out and in the lobby, waiting (with Cheryl Praeger) to be picked up and driven to the next event, a workshop on the Road Closure Problem. Here is some background for the mathematically inclined. Let G be a finite permutation group on a…
Math Game Monday: Pattern Block Mastermind – Denise Gaskins' Let's Play Math
This game encourages logical thinking about permutations --- the different ways blocks can be arranged in a row. Many parents remember struggling to learn math. We hope to provide a better experience for our children. And one of the best ways for children to enjoy learning is through hands-on play. Pattern Block Mastermind Math Concepts:…
A Catalan question | Peter Cameron's Blog
This week I am nominally at the Permutation Patterns conference. I find myself on the edge of the (very strong) community of Permutation Patterners; also, after a month away, I have lots of catching up to do; also, Bruce Sagan is not here. So I am not the most regular attendee. Nevertheless, looking in from…
Neanderthal gene variant lowers muscle enzyme activity in modern humans
The enzyme AMPD1 plays a key role in muscle energy production and normal muscular function. Loss of AMPD1 activity due to genetic mutations is the most common cause of metabolic myopathy in Europeans, occurring at a frequency of 9% to 14%.
