The William H. Foege Genome Sciences Building at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle contains laboratories, sequencers, computational facilities, and other resources for ...
Many viruses, particularly RNA viruses, mutate at a very high rate per genome per replication. One possible explanation is that high mutation rates are selected to meet the challenge of fluctuating ...

Somatic and germline mutation rates covary linearly across ciliates and mammals, study finds
In a study published in Current Biology on August 14, Prof. Miao Wei's team at the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Zhang Jianzhi's team at the University ...
A new study published in PLOS Genetics has identified an extreme mutational hotspot within the genome of Pseudomonas ...
Researchers are adding new evidence to the emerging concept that 'silent' or synonymous mutations may have crucial consequences. Their study showed how a synonymous mutation in one gene can ...
DNA has to be interpreted by cells. The letters or bases that make up genetic sequences are read in sets of three, and those three-base sequences are known as codons. Every codon encodes for one amino ...
Mice pups conceived with in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the lab have slightly increased rates of DNA errors, or mutations, compared to pups conceived naturally, a new study on artificial reproductive ...
Genetic disorders — like cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease — are considered incurable, with gene mutations occurring in essentially every cell of the body. Gene mutations occur when one ...
