Tartan Pattern Charts Survival Impact of Genetic Mutations in Yeast Cells (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have mapped how thousands of genetic mutations can affect the survival of yeast cells. The tartan-like pattern reveals how multiple genetic mutations within a single gene influence whether the cell lives or dies. Mutations that cancel each other out to preserve survival are highlighted in red. Those that work together to reduce chances of survival are green.
