Furthermore, our data also showed that the higher mutation frequency of the robust viruses became greatly diminished (but still statistically differed), when viruses first mutated to infect P. atrofaciens and were then forced to obtain an additional mutation that allowed infection of P. tomato [ 10].
Might a breast-cancer cell, say, acquire a mutation that allowed it to unmoor itself from the breast and colonize the brain?
John Oxford, a professor of virology at Queen Mary, University of London, warned of a potential pandemic should H7N9 undergo a mutation that allows human-to-human transmission.
But scientists have found a genetic mutation that allows fruit flies to sleep considerably less without any apparent setbacks.
I was amazed by the inventions of mere mortals, and wondered if there was some sort of genetic mutation that allowed a select few to see the future more clearly than the rest of us.
Say for instance, that you're an ancient human who was born with a genetic mutation that allowed you to speak, Fowler explained.
Huffington expressed skepticism that Trump enjoys the rare genetic mutation that allows some people to do okay on as little as four hours of sleep per night.
CaCo2 cells have a somatic APC mutation that allows β-catenin to accumulate and translocate to the nucleus.
The impact of increased TCF-4 was of particular interest in the context of CaCo2 cells, since they harbor a somatic APC mutation that allows abundant, activated β-catenin to accumulate in the nucleus.
It is possible that these patients had a mutation that allowed for the expression of a CrT splice variant, and this is supported by mutation analysis of these patients that showed the mutations occurred outside of the known splice variants for the CrT [36], [37].
