According to new research, different species have wildly different mutation rates; neighbouring genes are characterized by different mutational patterns; the 3D architecture of DNA and even the cell type influence where and how mutations arise; and viruses demonstrate mutational preferences when they infect cells. So how can mutations possibly be random?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on the latest findings in genomics, molecular biology and evolutionary theory, Noga Wies guides readers through this rapidly changing field, showing how a more nuanced understanding of mutations illuminates everything from the origin of new genes to the development of cancer. Along the way, a bold, holistic redefinition of what a mutation actually is emerges - one that encompasses overlooked sequences, RNA, and long-lost ancient molecules.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten for the curious general reader with an appetite for new science, this is an authoritative and thought-provoking account of how life changes, and why it does so in ways that are anything but random.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 166\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 17, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50519975526597,"sku":"9781784276836","price":60.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/BLCVnB1sOU9781784276836.webp?v=1790154148","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/nonrandom-the-secret-life-of-dna-mutations-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
