This type of matrix is commonly known as a substitution matrix . This matrix is used to derive a scoring matrix , used in bioinformatics to assess the similarity of two aligned sequences. For example, an 18 probability of replacing arginine with lysine in the substitution matrix is turned into a score of 3 in the scoring matrix.

The term resistance mutation is most commonly used to describe pointmutation s in virus gene s that allow the virus to become resistant to treatment with a particular antiviral drug . The term is now being seen with more frequency in bacteriology and parasitology . The term resistance mutation first appeared in the management of HIV , which was the first virus in which genome sequencing is routinely used to look for drug resistance. Nomenclature Resistance mutations are conventionally listed as a letter, number and letter. For example, the M184V mutation in the reverse transcriptase gene of HIV confers resistance to the drug lamivudine . The letters stand for amino acid s and use the traditional one letter abbreviations. M stands for methionine , and V stands for valine 184 is the number of that amino acid position counting from the amino terminus of the protein. M184V means that the 184th amino acid of the protein is normally methionine, but that a mutation in the gene for that protein produces a form of the protein where that amino acid is substituted by valine instead. The form V184 is sometimes seen this means that the 184th amino acid of that protein is valine, but it gives no information as to whether that is a mutation or the normal state of affairs. The Greek capital letter delta indicates a deletion so M184 would mean that the 184th amino acid is usually methionine, but that this position is now missing. Alternatives are separated by slashes so, M184V I means either M184V, or M184I . References references Category Mutation Pharma stub Genetics stub virus stub ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 In genetics , a neutral mutation is a mutation that has no effect on Fitness biology fitness . In other words, it is neutral with respect to natural selection . For example, some mutations in a DNA triplet or codon do not change which amino acid is introduced this is known as a synonymous substitution . Unless the mutation also has a Regulation of gene expression regulatory effect, synonymous substitutions are usually neutral. Some non synonymous mutations, i.e. mutations that do change the amino acid, are also neutral these neutral changes are often to a chemically similar amino acid that works just as well. Such mutations may spread through genetic drift neutral drift . Neutral mutations can accumulate over time due to genetic drift or genetic hitchhiking genetic draft . According to the neutral theory of molecular evolution , while the majority of mutations are deleterious, the majority of mutations that go on to become fixed as differences between species are neutral.

A germline mutation is any detectable and heritable variation in the lineage of germ cell s. Mutation s in these cells are transmitted to offspring , while, on the other hand, those in somatic cells are not. A germline mutation gives rise to a constitutional mutation in the offspring, that is, a mutation that is present in virtually every cell. A constitutional mutation can also occur very soon after fertilisation , or continue from a previous constitutional mutation in a parent. ref http www.daisyfund.org rb about genetics.html RB1 Genetics at Daisy s Eye Cancer Fund.
