Researchers identified novel chromosomal mutations and described their role in the development of resistance of Escherichia coli (E. coli) to broad-spectrum antibiotic fosfomycin, according to ...

Our discovery set comprised 31 pRCCs and paired normal tissue or peripheral blood (Table 1). Three tumours were separate foci from case GK116; these appeared to be grossly distinct lesions and were ...

Regional variation in mutation rates is an important phenomenon that affects genome evolution. It is determined by features of genomic landscape, with chromatin having an important influence. Pairwise ...

A new study focused on decoding the genetic chaos found in cancer cells reveals novel biomarkers with the potential to improve the development of precision therapies and treatment selection for the ...

An international study has identified more than 50 genes on the X chromosome in which mutations may cause poor sperm production. Nearly half of all men with low or zero sperm count have no medical ...

Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking in ...

Scientists have found that harmful mutations accumulating in the fire ant social chromosome are causing its breakdown. Scientists from Queen Mary University of London have found that harmful mutations ...
