Hypermutation is an unusual occurence that can lead to many nearby mutations at once, severely damaging our genetic material and potentially causing cancer.
Hypermutation is an unusual occurence that can lead to many nearby mutations at once, severely damaging our genetic material and potentially causing cancer.
The best known type of local hypermutation, called a mutation shower or thunderstorm, is quite uncommon and it leads to many mutations accumulated in a small area, e.g. a single gene.
Researchers from IRB Barcelona’s Genome Data Science Lab, led by the ICREA researcherFran Supek, have discovered a new type of hypermutation called mutation …
