Finally, still other sources of mutations are the many different types of transposable elements ... but in molecular systems biology, other emerging properties might also be of interest.

Understanding your tumor biology is key to finding the right treatment for pancreatic cancer. Identifying mutations, or changes in a [...] READ MORE ...

There are many different types of mutations which can arise in DNA. This diagram shows the normal order of the bases for one of the strands in a DNA molecule. Only one of the strands of DNA is ...

A recent study from Yale University has shed light on how different factors contribute to DNA mutations that drive cancer ...

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 ...

the findings represent a step forward in understanding the vast diversity of these types of cancers and highlight the importance of analyzing the cellular "state" prior to mutation. To perform ...

the findings represent a step forward in understanding the vast diversity of these types of cancers and highlight the importance of analysing the cellular "state" prior to mutation. STRACK ...

introduced mutations at a specific point in the HA protein of the H5N1 virus, and then assessed how they bound to the human-type receptor. The researchers also determined the crystal structures of ...

Mitosis in baker's yeast can also tell us about mutations that cause cancer ... but he eventually found his calling in the biology lab. In particular, he was interested in "the cancer problem ...
