Investigators have developed STITCHR, a new gene editing tool that can insert therapeutic genes into specific locations without causing unwanted mutations. The system can be formulated completely as ...

Farr, Christina Vasileiou, Peter A. Lind, and Paul B. Rainey, reveals that mutations in the promoter region of the rpoS gene occur at an astonishing rate—approximately 5,000 times higher than ...

Kennedy, Jr., says that vaccinating the nation’s poultry flocks against pervasive H5N1 bird flu could turn them into “mutation factories.” “All of my agencies advise against vaccination of ...

This short manuscript uses mutation counts in phylogenies of millions of SARS ... Conversely, synonymous C→U substitution rates with 3′ G context were elevated at both unpaired and paired positions ...

In this study, we used a directed evolution approach by continuous passage of selection to identify adaptive mutations that help SINV to stably ... Hence, using SINV as an example, we have ...

In perfect competition, market forces mean each company is a price-taker. For example, the market could dictate that it isn't profitable to sell a good at a price lower than $20. However ...

Here, we map how all amino-acid mutations to influenza’s major surface protein affect viral neutralization by polyclonal human sera. The serum of some individuals is so focused that it selects single ...
