2008;3(3):327-336. Phenotypic variability may be striking. [12] Females with such mutations may be completely normal or have clinical features ranging from mild learning disabilities, to Angelman ...

While polyploidy provides genetic redundancy by allowing mutations without affecting ... and Susumu Ohno's neofunctionalization by gene duplication—are not mutually exclusive.

this new genetic analysis looked at the chromosomal level, the genome level, and even the nucleotides of the Chernobyl dogs, and found no abnormalities indicative of radiation-induced mutation.

Mutations in the oncogenes may cause a cell to grow and divide too quickly. When this occurs, it may multiply at an out-of-control rate and develop into cancer. Chromosomes are threadlike ...

A new mutation mechanism, called loss-translocation-amplification ... we’ve been able to understand how chromosomes break and rearrange, and how this impacts osteosarcoma disease progression.” This ...
