As opposed to gene-level mutations, mutations that alter longer stretches of DNA (ranging from multiple genes up to entire chromosomes) are called chromosomal mutations. These mutations often have ...

Scientists at UC San Diego find that gene expression is linked to gene mutations and may be caused by them. That could make ...

This DNA has suffered a mutation, either through mis-copying (when its parent cell divided), or through the damaging effects of exposure to radiation or a chemical carcinogen.

A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation caused by a deletion or insertion in a DNA sequence that shifts the way the sequence is read. A DNA sequence is a chain of many smaller molecules called ...

Childhood or young adult onset patients usually with acromegaly can also have mutations in the AIP gene without a known family history of pituitary adenoma. DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) is the ...

When a cell divides, the process of DNA replication is very carefully controlled ... These are known as mutations. Mutations can have two results: no protein is expressed an altered protein ...

In a nutshell Scientists discovered that random DNA mutations don’t just cause local damage, they trigger widespread changes ...

DNA contains genes that carry instructions for the manufacture of a protein. If a mutation occurs in a gene that results in a change to the sequence of DNA bases, then the structure of the protein ...

Researchers uncovered unexpected patterns of mutation inheritance in the trees, revealing that some DNA damage persists unrepaired. In the case of blood stem cells, this can be for two to three years.

St. Jude researchers reveal that moderate levels of mitochondrial DNA mutations boost leukemia growth by increasing metabolic plasticity, while high mutation levels shut down tumor development. They ...

McCarroll's team also used computer modeling of the experimental ... the MSH3 protein normally helps the cell monitor its DNA for potential mutations, but loops in the DNA formed by extra CAGs ...
