Are the mutations that cause Huntington's disease present in the DNA, RNA, or both? Explain. In Sickle Cell Anemia and Huntington's Disease, are mutations the result of a mistake in DNA replication or transcrip
Mutations in the COL1A2 gene of type I collagen that result in nonlethal forms of osteogenesis imperfecta - Wenstrup - 1993Wenstrup RJ, Lever LW, Phillips CL, Quarles LD. Mutations in the COL1A2 gene of type I collagen that result in nonlethal forms of osteogenesis imperfecta. American ...
The limited number of recombination events in such vegetatively propagated crops may result in an accumulation of deleterious alleles throughout the genome6. Thus, mutation burden in cassava is expected to be more severe than that in sexually propagated species. Deleterious mutations are considered to...

This paper led to assertions that certain forms of cancer are mainly the result of "bad luck", and suggested that these types would be relatively resistant to prevention efforts. The question of random mutations and "bad luck" on cancer brought the question of prominence of environmental (...
It seems that even structure-based predictors, which are usually more accurate than sequence-based ones [16], present serious limitations for calculating the precise change in stability a given mutation will bring about (change in unfolding free energy:ΔΔG). Even for the simpler task of ...
Over the past few weeks, scientists uncovered two new strains of the Covid-19 virus, the “British” mutation and the “South African” one, are there others out there? “Yes, they are definitely not the only ones. Viruses are constantly changing, each one at its own pace. Both of tho...
Are the mutations that cause Huntington's disease present in the DNA, RNA, or both? Explain.Huntington's Disease:Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder of humans whereby an affected individual inherits a single copy of the dominant allele associated with the...
Chloroplasts have their own genomes, independent from nuclear genomes, that play vital roles in growth, which is a major targeted trait for genetic improvement in Populus. Angiosperm chloroplast genomes are maternally inherited, but the chloroplast’ var
Mutations in the PTPN11 gene are associated with various developmental disorders, hematologic malignancies, and solid tumors, playing distinct biological roles in different mechanisms of cancer development [12,13]. Through the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway, PTPN11 has been shown to promote the pro...
