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 ...

Radiation-induced mutation is unlikely to have induced genetic differences between dog populations in Chornobyl City and the nearby Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), according to a new study in ...

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.

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