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 ...

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 ...

During each cell cycle, the process of DNA replication timing is tightly regulated to ensure the accurate duplication of the genome. The extent and significance of alterations in this process during ...

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 ...

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 ...

Synonymous mutations have long been ignored in cancer studies since they don’t affect the amino acid sequences of proteins. But research increasingly reveals that they can have disease-driving effects ...

Several genes within the body can mutate and lead to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The genes that these mutations can occur with include epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), TP53, and KRAS.
