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 ...

Scientists are further interested in genome variability between neurons due to evidence from Walsh’s lab and others that mutations that affect only a small fraction of cells in the brain can cause ...

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say.
