Mutation Quote of the day
In microbiology the roles of mutation and selection in evolution are coming to be better understood through the use of bacterial cultures of mutant strains.
For the first time in history, we can track the evolution of a pandemic in real-time... Influenza viruses are notorious for their rapid mutation and unpredictable behaviour.
A comparison between the triplets tentatively deduced by these methods with the changes in amino acid sequence produced by mutation shows a fair measure of agreement.
A final proof of our ideas can only be obtained by detailed studies on the alterations produced in the amino acid sequence of a protein by mutations of the type discussed here.
The unique nature about the influenza virus is its great potential for changes, for mutation.
Engaging it produces an intense force, which in turn produces a mutation in consciousness. You become who you really are.
I suspect any worries about genetic engineering may be unnecessary. Genetic mutations have always happened naturally, anyway.
How comes it to pass, if they be only moved by chance and accident, that such regular mutations and generations should be begotten by a fortuitous concourse of atoms.
If the mutation is partially transmitted to offspring, they too would have the advantage. And over time it might have come to dominate a small breeding group.
We are embedded in the great evolutionary story of planet Earth, the spare, elegant process of mutation and selection and bricolage. And this means that we are anything but alone.
No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution.
Many words are in a state of mutation, the pronunciation being unsettled even in the best society, a result that must often arise where language is as variable and undetermined as the English.

There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation; the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
First of all, many human diseases are influenced by, if not caused by mutations in genes.
You would think that UV just causes mutations, but it doesn't, you need a gene to be active for it.
A decade or so ago, all over the world, cinemas underwent one of those prince-into-frog mutations, and became, instead popcorn-restaurants, which offered the option of visual diversions for diners.
This seems highly likely, especially as it has been shown that in several systems mutations affecting the same amino acid are extremely near together on the genetic map.
Only cells that had been transformed by a virus or a genetic mutation had the potential to become immortal.
All things are changing; and thou thyself art in continuous mutation and in a manner in continuous destruction and the whole universe to.
It wasn't torpor that kept her - she was often restless to the point of irritability. She simply liked to feel that she was prevented from leaving, that she was needed.
The differences you perceive between Humans-between groups of Humans-are the result of isolation and inbreeding, mutation, and adaptation to different Earth environments
Sometimes I just think we're not meant to fly halfway around the world in a day. That some kind of mutation is going to happen.
D.N.A. sequences change by mutations, and the idea behind the molecular clock is that those changes occur at, more or less, a constant rate, over time.
If you ever meet a guy and you fall in love with him, but because of some weird genetic mutation he doesn't seem to return the feeling?... Wear that dress.
Cancer can no longer be classified according to the organ in which it arises. It has to be characterized in terms of the genetic mutation that exists.
Audio virology is not a metaphor. It is to be taken literally. It maps real processes of mutation, transmission, contagion and memory within music culture.
You are a side effect," Van Houten continued, "of an evolutionary process that cares little for individual lives. You are a failed experiment in mutation.
In the early '90s, we discovered mutations that could double the normal life span of worms.
If life really depends on each gene being as unique as it appears to be, then it is too unique to come into being by chance mutations.
It is probably fair to estimate the frequency of a majority of mutations, in higher organisms, between one in ten thousand and one in a million per gene per generation.
We’ve now become the spectators of our own mutation. We may not die human anymore. But what makes us human?
