Achieving the aggregation of different mutation types at multiple genomic loci and generating transgene-free plants in the T 0 generation is an important goal in crop breeding. Although prime editing ...

In simple terms: a mutation is a stable change in genetic sequence that can be copied when cells or viruses replicate. Most mutations have no detectable effect, some contribute to disease, and a small ...

Researchers have discovered a new way hospital-acquired infections resist antibiotics, through a "silent" genetic mutation. Bacteria can acquire resistance to antibiotics through random mutations in ...

Acquired DNA mutations found in the SERPINA1 gene can protect liver cells from damage in patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, new research shows. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1AD) is a ...

Last week I was preparing to be interviewed by Pat Kenny on his Newstalk show. I always like to have a story that intrigues him, so I felt I was hitting the jackpot with this story about atomic ...

A 'silent' mutation in the genetic code of bacteria has been discovered by UK researchers, offering hope for future microbial treatments. The authors of new research, published in the Proceedings of ...
