Mutation breeding, in the case of self-pollinated crops that are disseminated by seed, is based on the self-fertilization – or selfing – of mutants until the induced desired character is stably ...

The detection of novel induced mutations in plant mutation breeding has long been a major challenge. Mutation events occur in such low frequencies that the detection of useful mutations requires the ...

In attempting to engineer a genetic mouse model for a human disorder, for example, it is important to know what kind of mutation causes the disease (for example, is the disease null, hypomorphic ...

The study found “no evidence” of radiation-induced genetic mutations in the dogs. However, the researchers acknowledge that this does not exclude the possibility that other factors ...

Occupational and environmental exposures can put specific groups of people at higher risk of cancer, including firefighters.

Researchers have unveiled the first real look at a mitochondrial protein strongly linked to Parkinson's disease, revealing ...

The following is a summary of "Clinicopathologic and genomic analyses of SMARCA4-mutated non-small cell lung carcinoma ...
