Hugh lives in a world called the Ship, which is run by scientists — all except for the upper decks, where it is dangerous to venture because of the mutants, or "muties," who live there.
Therefore, the vma1, vma8, vma11, vph1 and stv1 were not detected as candidate targets because of the mutants' weak phenotypes.
The effect of the Or42a − mutant is specific to 10−1 anisole, because responses of the mutant are similar to wild type at 10−2 and 10−3.
Because XCI of the mutant MECP2 allele is random in most females, favorably skewed maternal carriers of RTT-associated mutations are rare.
Because of misfolding, the mutant form of AT is inefficient in traversing the secretory pathway, and so there is a substantial reduction of AT in the systemic circulation, such that serum AT levels are approximately 10 15% of normal.
There are no immediate plans to recommend changes in the use of Tamiflu, which is also known as oseltamivir, officials from the W.H.O. and the United States said in interviews, because the incidence of the mutant virus is still small.
Because the expression of the mutant ATN-1 protein causes DRPLA, reducing the level of expression of mutant ATN-1 may delay the onset or slow progression of the disease.
Because chain colonies break up upon pipetting and because some of the mutants formed chains with very large clusters of cells, we attempted to visualize the chain phenotypes while manipulating the cells as little as possible.
These results suggest that the mutants are a valuable resource for future studies because some of the mutants are likely to reveal genes that encode products required for epigenetic gene regulation in maize but are not currently represented by sequenced mutations.
In order to identify the pathways dysregulated in PC cells because of the knockdown of the mutant Kras allele, we compared the gene expression profiles of CD18/HPAF-shKras and scramble cells by global microarray analysis.
