The alteration of a DNA sequence to produce a different form than the original.

Change in a gene or chromosome resulting in a new trait or characteristic that can be inherited. Mutation can be a source of beneficial genetic variation, or it can be neutral or harmful in effect.

An inherited and spontaneous change in the genetic structure of an organism.

the process or an instance of change or alteration, a genetic change which, when transmitted to offspring gives rise to heritable variations. Muttaqii is the one who is pious and fears Allah Alone. He doesn't fear any idea, anyone or anything else.

Process in which DNA's structure is permanently altered. This may have serious consequences, such as inability to make a normal enzyme for DNA repair with resulting abnormal sensitivity to UV light (as occurs in CS and XP).

A change in the order of the nucleotides that make up DNA. Some mutations can cause disease, others provide healthy variation in a population, and others have no effect.

an abnormality in a gene.

is an alteration of biological inheritance which produces changes in an organism. Inheritance means genetics in our world, but other realms may have other systems. Mutation is very much a random, hit or miss affair. Realistically, most mutations are negative. Deliberately using mutations to create desired changes typically involves inducing millions of mutations and keeping only the few changes that are desired. Even in realms where mutations are more controllable there exists the possibility of extreme negative effects. See Also: Synthesis.

Reproduction with random small changes on the program

A (usually) random change in a structure. In this game, we mutate the control code of the creatures to create diversity (thus driving the evolution), and then let natural selection screen out the best. Essentially this is analogous to the mutation of DNA as happens in biological life.

A sequence variation that deviates from the reference, or "wild type", sequence. This variation can be a SNP, an insertion of sequence, or a deletion of sequence. There can be a great deal of sequence variation between individuals in a population. For example, different humans may have as many as 1 basepair difference every 1000 bp. In practice, mutations are distinguished from variation because they have phenotypic consequences. Mutations in the Pax6 gene that lead to a loss of the function of that gene lead to the eyeless mutation in flies, the Small eye mutation in mice, and aniridia in humans.

A sudden genetic change occurring in an organism which can be passed to subsequent generations. (Also called a 'Sport').

An error in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that in turn affects the production of proteins. There are two main types of mutations: substitution mutations and frameshift mutations. A substitution mutation occurs when one nucleotide is replaced by another; these mutations can range from ineffectual to drastic, depending on how the new nucleotide changes the protein coded for. Frameshift mutations occur when a nucleotide is either inserted or deleted into the code; these mutations are always drastic and often fatal, since an insertion or deletion will affect every codon in a particular genetic sequence by throwing the entire three-by-three codon frame out of whack.

An event in which the DNA chain alters. In the case of STR markers, a mutation is almost invariably the gain or loss of one repeat of the basic short sequence (or, rarely, two repeats). Other types of mutations include the substitution of one base for another and the insertion or deletion of a whole segment. See also recombination.

A stable, heritable change in the DNA sequence at a specific site in the genome of an organism. This constitutes a change in the genotype and, if expressed, may alter the phenotype.

A mutation can have no effect, cause minor effects or cause major effects. Over many years, the accumulation of mutations in genes that control a cell's ability to divide, mature, or die can result in cancer cells.

A change in the genetic material of an individual. A mutation, which occurs in the egg or sperm, is an inheritable change; a change which occurs in the somatic cells is not inheritable. Changes found in 1% or more of the population are called polymorphisms. Changes found less frequently than 1% are called mutations or variants.

A change in genetic material and the traits that are inherited by its offspring.

Often erroneously confused with genetic variation. Mutations damage or corrupt existing genetic information; they have not been empirically shown capable of adding new, useful, meaningful genetic information.

In biology, a sudden change in agene or unit of hereditary material that's results in anew inheritable characteristic. As related to HIV: During the course if HIV disease, mutated HIV strains may emerge in an infected individual.

Any change in the sequence of genomic DNA.

an alteration in a gene that may cause disease or abnormal functioning of the body

A permanent change in the genetic material that may alter a trait or characteristic of an individual, or manifest as disease, and can be transmitted to offspring.

An inheritable alteration in the DNA of an organism (or RNA if that is the genetic material); the presentation thereof.

A permanent change, a structural alteration, in the DNA or RNA . In humans and many other organisms, mutations occur in DNA. However, in retroviruses like HIV , mutations occur in RNA which is the genetic material of retroviruses. See the entire definition of Mutation

Change in the hereditary information that can cause a change in an organism (p.197-199).

Change in the structure of a gene or chromosome.

A change in a DNA sequence, in one or more markers, as passed from father to son. Normally, a specific marker is passed unchanged from one generation to another. Mutations allow genetic genealogists to define distinct family lines, since a mutation is then passed as changed to the next generation.

A chemical change in the DNA in the nucleus of a cell. Mutations in sperm or egg cells or their precursors may lead to inherited effects in children. Mutations in body cells may lead to effects in the individual.

A change in the DNA at a particular locus in an organism. This can include point mutations as well as chromosomal changes.

A change, either spontaneous or by external factors, in the genetic material of a cell; mutations in the gametes (sex cells) can be inherited by future generations of organisms.

A change, deletion, or rearrangement in the DNA sequence that may lead to the synthesis of an altered inactive protein the loss of the ability to produce the protein. If a mutation occurs in a germ cell, then it is a heritable change in that it can be transmitted from generation to generation. Mutations may also be in somatic cells and are not heritable in the traditional sense of the word, but are transmitted to all daughter cells. [Source: NHBLI/NCBI Glossary ], see genetic mutation

any process which results in the alteration of the DNA sequence. Some conservative mutations may have no effect on the final amino acid encoded.

a permanent change in the genetic information in a cell; only mutations in sperm and eggs are inherited

A mutation is a permanent change in DNA. Mutations can be inherited or can occur spontaneously.

A permanent structural alteration in DNA. In most cases, DNA changes either have no effect or cause harm, but occasionally a mutation can improve an organism's chance of surviving and passing the beneficial change on to its descendants. [ Talking Glossary

Sudden change in molecular structure of a gene; may occur spontaneously or be caused by an environmental event such as radiation.

an abrupt change in the base sequence of DNA, resulting in new genetic information. If the mutation is in a gamete, the new genetic information can be passed to the next generation.

Describes an African Violet or part of an African Violet which exhibits physical characteristics indicative of a genetic change in that variety. The genetic change may either be induced, as occurred during the Space Violet program, or it may be spontaneous, which simply means that the cause of the change is unknown. When propagating by leaf, approximately one out of every 100 leaves will produce a mutation. Also see Sport.

Any heritable change in DNA. There are many types of mutations, such as chromosomal mutations, point mutations, contractions, and expansions.

A genetic change, transferable or not, depending on the cell or group of cells containing the mutation.

A change in the genetic material that occurs by chance.

A change in the DNA that occurs spontaneously. Mutation is a scientific term that often connotes a negative connotation as a result of 1950's 'B' movies, but in genetic genealogy, mutations are utilized for distinguishing different ancestral lines. Mutations can also occur due to environmental factors, such as exposure to radiation.

A change in genetic material that results from an error in replication of DNA. Mutations can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral.

In biology, mutations are changes to the base pair sequence of genetic material (either DNA or RNA). Mutations can be caused by copying errors in the genetic material during cell division and by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation, chemical mutagens, or viruses, or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as meiosis or hypermutation. In multicellular organisms, mutations can be subdivided into germline mutations, which can be passed on to descendants, and somatic mutations.

In genetic algorithms, mutation is a genetic operator used to maintain genetic diversity from one generation of a population of chromosomes to the next. It is analogous to biological mutation.

Mutation is a book written by Robin Cook (novelist) about the ethics of genetic engineering. It brings up the benefits, risks, consequences, and the horror.
