Mutation

Snapshot: What Are Silent Mutations?

Our DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) serves as a genetic blueprint for building and maintaining our tissues. This complex molecule contains the information needed to build proteins, written in a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). During transcription, the DNA sequence—stored in Read More…

Snapshot: ¿Qué es una Mutación De Novo?

Para que nuestro cuerpo funcione de manera saludable, es necesario llevar a cabo muchos procesos celulares esenciales regulados por moléculas creadas en nuestro interior. Esta molécula base es llamada ADN, la cual actúa como un manual de instrucciones al llevar toda la información genética de nuestro cuerpo. El genoma de Read More…
