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
Unveiling rare diversity: The origin of heritable mutations in trees
What is the origin of genetic diversity in plants? Can new mutations acquired during growth be passed on to seeds? INRAE scientists, in collaboration with CIRAD and the CNRS, have used the French Guiana forest as the setting for their research, leading to a series of discoveries on this fundamental question in biology. The results are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Genetic Performance and Mutational Opportunity – Genetically Wrapped
When opportunity arises, some people will grasp their chance, many will not believe or trust their luck, whilst others will sit back and let the opportunity pass or have it taken away from them. Fate may deliver new possibilities but whether or not those possibilities prove fruitful will depend on the individual. The same may…
Study uncovers how APOBEC enzymes drive cancer mutations
A research team led by the University of California, Irvine has discovered the key role that the APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B enzymes play in driving cancer mutations by modifying the DNA in tumor genomes, offering potential new targets for intervention strategies.
Designing a PKP2 Gene Therapy to Target Cardiomyocytes for Treatment of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Wu, et al assess the feasibility and efficacy of AAV9:PKP2 gene therapy in a knock out model of disease. Here we take a look "Behind the paper" at the making of TN-401, an adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) gene therapy being developed for the treatment of ARVC caused by mutations to PKP2.
Mutations in the efflux pump regulator MexZ shift tissue colonization by Pseudomonas aeruginosa to a state of antibiotic tolerance | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Mutations in the efflux pump regulator encoding gene mexZ, one of the most frequently mutated genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa during early chronic respiratory infection, render this pathogen more prone to invading the airway intraepithelial compartment where some antibiotics have limited penetration
Focusing on oncogenic driver mutations and resistance mechanisms in the treatment of NSCLC
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Improved understanding of driver mutations of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has led to more biomarker-directed treatment for patients with advanced stages.
Fishing for Answers: The Reference Genome's Impact on Fishing Cat Conservation | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Reference genomes offer powerful insight into a species’ genetic blueprint, providing unique opportunities to address genetic questions. In this study, our aim was to build and utilize a reference genome to find potential gene mutations driving bladder cancer occurrence in zoo-managed fishing cats.
Mutations in the splicing factor SF3B1 are linked to frequent emergence of HLA-DRlow/neg monocytes in lower-risk myelodysplastic neoplasms | Research Communities by Springer Nature
In this study, using a machine learning workflow tailored to the analysis of high-dimensional mass cytometry data, we identified a prominent cluster of classical monocytes exhibiting reduced surface expression of the MHC class II molecule HLA-DR in MDS patients with SF3B1 mutations.
