The phrase "a series of mutations" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing genetic changes, evolutionary biology, or any context where multiple alterations or variations are being described.
Example: "The research focused on a series of mutations that contributed to the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria."
Alternatives: "a sequence of mutations" or "a chain of mutations".
Conversely, we also made a series of mutations on PX5 and tested their interactions with IncE.
A series of mutations was synthetically engineered into β-hairpin peptides to establish structure activity relationships.
Acquiring a series of mutations is also probably how a bird flu gave rise to the 1918 pandemic.
In order to gain further insight into the roles of these dimers, we have engineered a series of mutations in PhoB intended to perturb each of them selectively.
In this study, to further clarify the amino acids involved in the cell tropism of IBDV, a series of mutations about residue 279 were introduced into the VP2 of vvIBDV Gx strain.
We have introduced a series of mutations into viral capsid proteins with the aim of selectively silencing two dominant and highly variable epitopes and thereby divert immune responses toward less dominant but more conserved, protective epitopes.
Using a series of mutations and chemical modifications of our fluorescent peptide substrate, we have identified specific groups on the first two amino acids of ghrelin that potentially contribute to ghrelin recognition by hGOAT.
We designed a series of mutations to separately destabilize two helical stems (designated S3 and S4) predicted by a covariation-based model of the coronavirus 3′UTR (Zust et al., 2008).
By inducing a series of mutations, David Liu, PhD, Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, developed a laboratory-evolved enzyme, Staphylococcus aureus Sortase A (eSrtA), which has an enhanced catalytic activity of approximately 120-fold over the non-mutated, wild-type enzyme.
In what may be an important step toward a long-elusive AIDS vaccine, American researchers have minutely tracked one person's powerful immune response to the virus to see how a series of mutations led to an antibody that can defeat many H.I.V. strains.
b Cancer cells acquire a series of mutations that foster glycolysis in several ways.
