Urban entomologists have discovered a gene mutation that could contribute to bed bug insecticide resistance. A global infestation of bed bugs after World War II was nearly eradicated in the 1950s ...

Courtesy of AP. BLACKSBURG, Va. – A new Virginia Tech research study revealed a gene mutation in bed bugs that may have contributed to their insecticide resistance. Bed bugs were nearly ...

How could a "bad" gene-- the mutation that causes the sometimes lethal sickle cell disease -- also be beneficial? On the other hand, if it didn't provide some survival advantage, why had the ...

Now, researchers have identified a possible genetic trigger that led to increased neuron production in that brain region, which is associated with higher-level cognition as well as impulse control and ...

and he or she might even undergo heart attack or stroke—all because of a single nucleotide mutation (Figure 1). SNPs are important as markers, or signposts, for scientists to use when they look ...

A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation caused by a deletion or insertion in a DNA sequence that shifts the way the sequence is read. A DNA sequence is a chain of many smaller molecules called ...

Researchers have revealed a secret behind horses' exceptional endurance – a mutation in the KEAP1 gene that boosts energy production while protecting against cellular oxidative stress.

New research analyzing their evolution finds the same mutation across fish species that have evolved on separate timelines — alongside human-made pollutants contaminating the deep sea.

The next step in mutation breeding is to detect which plants have indeed produced the desired new traits. With recent breakthroughs in detection technologies we help Member States screen plants more ...

The alarm has been raised over the mutation of a new strain of mpox. The variant is said to be "highly transmissible" and is currently rampaging through the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A gene mutation associated with insecticide resistance, previously identified in German cockroaches, has been detected in North American bed bug populations ...
