How to use mutation in a sentence?

  1. Peter Swenson:

    This money that I'm raising, I'm hoping that the research can be done to actually find a treatment for these mutations, this mutation is the same mutation in the majority of DIPG tumors. That type of tumor has a 0 % survival rate.

  2. Simon Clarke:

    When a virus is swilling around the population, it can mutate, every time it replicates( infects) there is the possibility of a mutation. While most of those are neutral or even damage the virus, every so often a mutation gives the virus a' fitness advantage,' which makes it more transmissible. Bluntly, the more people with a second dose, the less this thing can mutate in dangerous ways.

  3. Ada Hamosh:

    I had a match (in January) with the same gene and type of mutation, but the (symptoms) weren't a great match, then I got an email from a third (clinician) who matched and what's interesting is there is a unifying trait.

  4. Ahmedin Jemal:

    One factor that could contribute to the increase is this desire for symmetry, another factor is probably the Angelina Jolie effect. She was diagnosed with the BRCA-1 cancer gene that mutation that causes breast cancer, and she had a double mastectomy, so that was covered widely in the media.

  5. George Dimopoulos:

    The problem is that these GM mutants have a fitness cost, current studies are addressing this issue, trying to find ways of making these mosquitoes as competitive as the wild type. One way of perhaps doing this is to inactivate the parasite-host factor, FREP1, in the adult female gut only, as opposed to the entire mosquito at all developmental stages. One can also integrate our strategy with a so-called gene-drive to more effectively drive the mutation into a mosquito population.
