A new study by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology (MPI-EB) sheds fresh light on one of the most ...

In the mid-19th century, Charles Darwin unveiled a revolutionary idea. Darwin’s On the Origin of Species crashed through the ...

Scientists used to infer mutations from phenotypic changes, such as the development of drug resistance. Now, thanks to increasingly cost-effective and rapid DNA sequencing, more-sophisticated ways of ...

Evolution of a hyper-mutable locus delivers foresight Through the analysis of more than 500 mutations, the study uncovered ...

Many human diseases are multigenic, resulting from mutations in multiple genes that all affect a single phenotypic trait. Although the multifactorial nature of such diseases makes identification ...

If you get a mutation in coding DNA, then the sequence of DNA could be changed. Changing the sequence of DNA can change the amino acids that make up the protein. This could have huge consequences.

Researchers employed a programmable DNA base editing technology to introduce a knockout mutation in the ND5 mitochondria gene, aiming to investigate the resulting genotypic and phenotypic changes.
