EGFR Mutations in NSCLC: What Does It Mean?
Some EGFR mutations are like deleting letters or words to these instructions (called deletions) or adding letters or words (called insertions). Point mutations are like misspelled words where only ...

Mutations Are the Raw Materials of Evolution
They can also appear spontaneously during the replication of DNA. Mutations generally fall into two types: point mutations and chromosomal aberrations. In point mutations, one base pair is changed.
Cancer-like mutations in healthy cells point to genetic origins of breast cancer
BC Cancer, Harvard Medical School and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) have pinpointed what could be the early ...

New research indicates individual human neurons may harbor up to 1,000 genetic mutations.
What they found was that every neuron’s genome was unique. Each had more than 1,000 point mutations (mutations that alter a single letter of the genetic code), and only a few mutations appeared in ...

Mutation detection and single-molecule counting using isothermal rolling-circle amplification
We used a novel geometric hyperbranched RCA (HRCA) reaction to detect point mutations in small amounts of human genomic DNA in solution. Furthermore, linear RCA, using pre-formed circles as ...
