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
Recessive genes are subject to Darwinian selection, researchers suggest
Researchers from Radboudumc, Department of Human Genetics, demonstrated something remarkable in a 2014 publication in Nature. Contrary to expectations, inherited variants in genes were rarely responsible for intellectual disability. In the vast majority, the disability arose from a spontaneous mutation: a mutation that neither parent has, but suddenly appears in the child.
Meat-rich diets and a single gene variant may have contributed to the physiological evolution of modern humans
Two of the traits that set modern humans apart from non-human primates are taller stature and a higher basal metabolic rate. Publishing in Cell Genomics, researchers have identified a genetic variant that contributed to the co-evolution of these traits. This mutation seems to help people grow taller—especially when they consume a lot of meat.
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.
