Then, a combined mutation scheme is adapted to make full use of the strong intensification capabilities of Gaussian mutation and the strong exploratory leanings of Cauchy mutation. In addition, the ...

Cells are the smallest units of life. But even within the same tissue or organ, they are not all identical. New variations arise continuously during cell proliferation. While genetic mutations alter ...

Natural short sleepers (NSS) are people who generally need only four-six hours sleep a night to function normally, and ...

A mutation in salt-induced kinase 3 (hSIK3-N783Y) is identified in a human subject exhibiting the natural short sleep duration trait. A mouse model carrying this homologous mutation demonstrates ...

A new study determines that radiation-induced mutation is not the cause, and that the true reason could be related to intense selective pressures or other toxins released in to the environment ...

Radiation-induced mutation is unlikely to have induced genetic differences between dog populations in Chornobyl City and the nearby Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Radiation-induced mutation is ...

"The exact role of APOBEC3-induced mutations in cancer initiation hasn't been clear," said Dr. Faltas, who is also the chief research officer at the Englander Institute for Precision Medicine and ...

RPAO‐induced pulmonary hypertension establishes a new, nontoxic, sex‐dependent model for precapillary pulmonary hypertension, unveiling a distinct phenotype in genetically predisposed rats.

Genomic heterogeneity is pervasive in living organisms, from bacterial ecosystems to human tissues, allowing both adaptability and/or reestablishment of homeostasis in the proper context. In nature, ...

Similarly, a subtle mutation in a promoter can have big impacts on gene expression elsewhere. In a separate experiment in human stem cells, the researchers induced mutations in specific TAD ...

Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory studied the predictability of breeding tomatoes with both natural and CRISPR-induced mutations. Their findings reveal that “background” mutations from ...

The findings adds weight to earlier work by the same team of researchers that suggested that drug-induced mutations of Covid were spreading in some populations, although not in great numbers.
