The phrase "altered in mutants of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or biological contexts when discussing changes or modifications observed in mutant organisms.
Example: "The gene expression was significantly altered in mutants of the species, leading to observable phenotypic differences."
Alternatives: "modified in mutant strains of" or "changed in mutant forms of".
Consistently, nfs expression is altered in mutants of several key developmental regulators necessary for appropriate expression of sporulation genes.
Instead, we found that the DA9 dendritic MT organization is altered in mutants of a related kinesin, unc-116/kinesin-1.
In C. elegans, cholinergic synaptic transmission is altered in mutants of the single elav ortholog EXC-7, which is expressed in a subset of neurons and other non-neuronal cells [ 30].
How is the expression and H3K27 distribution altered in mutants (null or hypomorphs) of Polycomb genes?
In contrast, 13 months after TAM injection, the fiber size distribution was altered in mutants, with the vast majority of the mutant muscle fibers having a CSA between 500 and 1000 µm2, whereas the mean myofibers CSA for control muscle fibers was between 1500 and 2000 µm2 (Fig. 2C).
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have recently been proposed as candidate signalling molecules in acclimation because they can modulate gene expression when added to cell culture media, and gene expression patterns are altered in mutants accumulating higher or lower levels of ROS [ 36- 38].
Interestingly, expressions of several genes involved in skin sphingolipid biosynthesis and metabolism were altered in mutant skin.
The conformation of putative ciprofloxacin binding pocket appeared to alter in mutant gyrase A (b) as compared with the reference wild type gyrase A (a).
Kelly et al. [ 4] suggested that a gene located between argD and cysG, which are located downstream from crp in the S. Typhimurium, may have been altered in some mutants in the course of the transduction, and that this could be the reason for the lack of complementation.
In addition, several other blood parameters were significantly altered in heterozygous mutant mice of only one gender (see Table S3).
Transcript levels of a limited number of genes are altered in the mutant, and many of these genes are involved in the plant response to stress.
