A spatial mutation model with increasing mutation rates
AbstractWe consider a spatial model of cancer in which cells are points on the d-dimensional torus $\mathcal{T}=[0,L]^d$ , and each cell with $k-1$ mutations acquires a kth mutation at rate $\mu_k$ . We assume that the mutation rates $\mu_k$ are increasing, and we find the asymptotic waiting time for the first cell to acquire k mutations as the ...

Mutational landscape of yeast mutator strains [PDF]
Significance Deficiencies in genome maintenance genes (so-called mutator genes) result in increased mutagenesis that impacts cell evolvability. How the mutational processes drive the evolution of genome structure is not well understood. Here, we used high-throughput sequencing to characterize the mutation events (from punctual mutations to ...

Mutation Spectra and the Neutrality of Mutations [PDF]
The effect of amino acid replacements on enzyme function was studied in the tJ-galactosidase of Escherichia coli. Mutants possessing 50% or less of normal enzyme activity were isolated and examined. Of 733 amino acid substitutions calculated to have occurred, only 11 reduced tJ-galactosidase activity below 50 %.

This Article contains errors in Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 7, for which we apologize. In Fig. 3, panel ‘b’, the 0.5 hour time point after Ku55933 treatment images were inadvertently replaced with duplicates of the 3 hour time point after Ku55933 treatment ...

Colorectal cancer prognosis: is it all mutation, mutation, mutation? [PDF]
For the 500 000 new cases of colorectal cancer in the world each year, identification of patients with a worse prognosis and those who are more likely to respond to treatment is a challenge. There is an increasing body of evidence correlating genetic mutations with outcome in tumours derived from human colorectal cancer cohorts.

Background Up to 80% of cases of prostate cancer present with multifocal independent tumour lesions leading to the concept of a field effect present in the normal prostate predisposing to cancer development.

Semantically Driven Mutation in Genetic Programming [PDF]
Using semantic analysis, we present a technique known as semantically driven mutation which can explicitly detect and apply behavioural changes caused by the syntactic changes in programs that result from the mutation operation. Using semantically driven

Mutation testing from probabilistic finite state machines [PDF]
Mutation testing traditionally involves mutating a program in order to produce a set of mutants and using these mutants in order to either estimate the effectiveness of a test suite or to drive test generation.
