Sentence examples for mutations can make from inspiring English sources

Mutations can make it impossible for a cell to make a protein from a gene.

I recently spoke with several prominent influenza scientists, all of whom agreed that, based on the knowledge that certain mutations can make H5N1 highly transmissible in ferrets, they could consult previously published literature and probably figure out what those mutations are.

Fouchier is also interested in knowing whether the same mutations can make other H5N1 strains "airborne".

The appeal is the latest twist in the long-running saga of two papers showing how a few mutations can make H5N1 more transmissible among mammals.

At issue is Fouchier's hotly debated paper showing that a few mutations can make H5N1, a virus that normally infects birds, transmissible through the air between ferrets, which was published in Science in June 2012.

But sometimes, those mutations can make a virus a little more or a little less virulent, or make it a little more or a little less efficient at spreading in whatever way it normally is transmitted, he said.

The mutation A2058G makes many bacteria macrolide-resistant [ 108], while the reverse mutation can make archaea macrolide-sensitive [ 109].

Retroviruses slip genes into chromosomes at random, sometimes causing mutations that can make normal cells turn into cancers.

At the same time there aren't many mutations that can make us a whole lot smarter.

One key target was the virus's receptor binding site, the area within the hemagglutinin molecule that makes first contact with the host cell; scientists already knew that two mutations there can make the virus prefer mammalian cells over bird cells.

Though virgin birth -- known as parthenogenesis (from the Greek παρθένος, parthenos, meaning "virgin", and γένεσις, genesis, meaning "birth") -- may "hurt genetic diversity and yield only all-female or all-male progeny," study co-author Warren Booth told Discovery News," it could also weed out mutations that can make individuals less fit".
