A team of researchers has uncovered a “supergene,” a mechanism that helps new species arise and evolve with astonishing speed ...

Researchers have found that chunks of "flipped" DNA can help fish quickly adapt to new habitats and evolve into new species, ...

Precision gene editing is crucial for treating genetic diseases, as it enables targeted correction of specific mutations. A ...

When cancer spreads from a primary tumor to new sites throughout the body, it undergoes changes that increase its genetic complexity.

These variations included deletions, insertions, inversions ... mutations. Recombination events were more likely to originate through exchanges or reshuffling of genes on the mother’s chromosomes.

Because males possess only one X chromosome, a mutation in this single copy is sufficient to ... They include point mutations, where one DNA base is altered, and deletions, insertions, or inversions ...

This research marks the first analysis of X chromosome-related gene mutations among monozygotic twins who are ... HA: hemophilia A; CA, carrier; N, normal subject; Inv22, intron 22 inversion; M: DNA ...

A translocation chromosome mutation can be of two types — reciprocal ... copies of genetic material from the copied segment. Inversions. This happens when a chromosome breaks in two places.

Whether spontaneous or induced, mutations generally are a result of large-scale deletions, inversions or translocations of chromosomes, or from point mutations (a type of mutation that causes a single ...

these mutations differ from punctual mutations. They can move genes from one place to the other, change the orientation of some genes, or even change the number of chromosomes. In this work, we deal ...

The molecular profile of the cohort showed that Inv-22 inversions, along with frameshift, missense, and nonsense mutations, were the most common ... from the University of Chicago and her PhD in ...
