| Arrows indicate the position of the point mutation and the corresponding nucleotide on the wild-type sequence. |
| Whereas a translation error is like an inkblot marring one copy of a book, a mutation is a flaw in the printing plate, reproduced in every copy. |
| So tell me how a simple point mutation changes the information content of the gene. |
| The plant and seed pigmentation components can be lost independently by mutation or unequal crossing over, leading to different derivatives. |
| We also analyze the evidence for the presence of a disease mutation after inferring the ancestry of a locus. |
| Every known mutation has either decreased information content or was informationally neutral. |
