THREE GENETIC MUTATIONS PRODUCE COLORFUL PIGEONS.The article reports that three genetic mutations cause different feather pigmentations among domestic rock pigeons, according to scientists Michael D. Shapiro and Eric T. Domyan of the University of Utah.E.K.W.Chemical & Engineering News (00092347)...

The numbers and types of genetic variations are summarized in Table 2. Among the 297 SNPs listed here, 50 were identified in ABCB1 (average of one per 1400 bp), 14 in TAP1 (1/643 bp), 35 in TAP2 (1/171 bp), 48 in ABCB4 (1/896 bp), 13 in ABCB7 (1/2538 bp), 21 in ...
Of course, in some cases a large population with the same genetic makeup may be a disadvantage as it limits a species' ability to adapt to changing conditions. In addition, any mutations will be present in all individuals. If one organism is genetically susceptible to disease, all its offspr...
After the patient died, the physician in charge brought the blood disc of the patient and whole blood from his parents to our laboratory for genetic analysis in order to reach a final diagnosis. Direct DNA sequencing performed on genomic DNA from the parents confirmed the absence of mutations ...
Approximately 14% of genetic mutations in patients with ataxiatelangiectsia (A-T) are single-nucleotide changes that result in primary premature terminatio... CH Lai,HH Chun,SA Nahas,... - 《Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America》 被引量: 337发表...
times over the past couple of years, and, in the process, errors have emerged. These errors, or mutations, are the raw material for new variants. Scientists have found that nearly half of the genetic sequences within variants contain three mutations at positions called K417, E484, and N...
In many cases, evolution is accompanied by an increase of genetic and phenotypic complexity, yet the biochemical machinery necessary for the energy supply of an increasing diversity of cell- and tissue types had to work effectively, even if different tissues have specific conditions such as pH valu...
at least two mutations must occur to convert a female into a hermaphrodite53. In contrast, only one mutation is sufficient to convert a hermaphrodite from an androdioecious mating type into a female54,55. Although these two scenarios are relatively easy to postulate, it is more difficult to ...
The germline muta- tion rate calculated for TSC (2.5 Â 10À5) is one of the highest reported in humans.12 One consequence of this high mutation rate is that a majority of the TSC2 mutations occur de novo. Here, we report the molecular genetic analysis of a unique family with TSC,...
