Plant mutation breeding, also called variation breeding, is a method that uses physical radiation or chemical means to induce spontaneous genetic variation in plants to develop new crop varieties.

Mapping incidence and survival of non-small-cell lung cancers stratified by mutation type in southern Appalachia: A single center retrospective study. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2024 ...

Synonymous mutations are generally considered neutral, while their roles in the human genome remain largely unexplored. Here we use the PEmax system to create a library of 297,900 engineered ...

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by scientists from Israel and Ghana shows that an evolutionarily significant mutation in the human APOL1 gene arises not ...

After decades of fixating on mutations in nuclear DNA as the prime suspects in cancer development, researchers are increasingly peering into the cell’s powerhouse for clues. Mutations in mitochondrial ...

Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth. By testing every possible mutation in a critical hotspot, they found that ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
