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.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have identified genetic changes in blood stem cells from frequent blood donors ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...
