Signatures of mutational processes in human cancer
All cancers are caused by somatic mutations; however, understanding of the biological processes generating these mutations is limited. The catalogue of somatic mutations from a cancer genome bears the signatures of the mutational processes that have been operative. Here we analysed 4,938,362 mutations from 7,042 cancers and extractedmore than 20 distinct mutational signatures. Some are present ...
متن کاملCRISPR/Cas9-Targeted Mutagenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans
The generation of genetic mutants in Caenorhabditis elegans has long relied on the selection of mutations in large-scale screens. Directed mutagenesis of specific loci in the genome would greatly speed up analysis of gene function. Here, we adapt the CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate mutations at specific sites in the C. elegans genome.
متن کاملCRISPR/Cas9-mediated targeted mutagenesis in grape
RNA-guided genome editing using the CRISPR/Cas9 CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9) system has been applied successfully in several plant species. However, to date, there are few reports on the use of any of the current genome editing approaches in grape-an important fruit crop with a large market not only for table grapes but al...
متن کاملExcitotoxic degeneration is initiated at non-random sites in cultured rat cerebellar neurons.
Prolonged stimulation of cultured cerebellar neurons by kainic acid (KA) leads to death of neurons first evident from the swelling of soma and neurites. Stimulation is accompanied by increases in [Ca2+]i and [Na+]i as monitored using digital imaging microfluorimetry. "Blebs" tended to form on neurites with the highest increases in [Ca2+]i. Points of Ca2+ entry into neurites via glutamate-recept...
متن کاملMutational signatures of non‐homologous and polymerase theta‐mediated end‐joining in embryonic stem cells
Cells employ potentially mutagenic DNA repair mechanisms to avoid the detrimental effects of chromosome breaks on cell survival. While classical non-homologous end-joining (cNHEJ) is largely error-free, alternative end-joining pathways have been described that are intrinsically mutagenic. Which end-joining mechanisms operate in germ and embryonic cells and thus contribute to heritable mutations...
