A team of US researchers on Wednesday said they have found a rare mutation that leaves its carriers much more likely to become ill with tuberculosis (TB) — but, curiously, not with other infectious ...

A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation caused by a deletion or insertion in a DNA sequence that shifts the way the sequence is read. A DNA sequence is a chain of many smaller molecules called ...

Applied since the 1930s to accelerate the process of developing and selecting new valuable agronomic traits, mutation breeding uses a plant’s own genetic make-up, mimicking the natural process of ...

A nonsense mutation is a genetic mutation in a DNA sequence that results in a shorter, unfinished protein product. DNA is a chain of many smaller molecules called nucleotides. During protein ...

To artificially induce hereditary changes in plants, either physical or chemical agents are used. Ionizing radiation is a widely used physical agent to treat the seeds and other plant material of ...

Tuberculosis is a confounding scourge. It’s the leading cause of death from infectious disease in the world, and yet it’s estimated that those deaths represent perhaps 5% of infections with ...

However, changes in the genome do occur. These are known as mutations. Mutations can have two results: no protein is expressed an altered protein is expressed Some mutations can affect a few bases ...
