GONUTS is under stress! The website is currently experiencing long-wait times and frequent time-outs due to the record number of students, groups, and annotations related to CACAO this semester. We are currently working on increasing performance -- please accept our apologies for the technical difficulties.
You can help reduce stress on the server by:
- not reloading pages frequently - this just adds
- opening links in new windows (so you can read the old page)
Category:GO:0006280 ! mutagenesis
This GO term has been obsoleted.
Do not annotate to it.
id: GO:0006280
name: mutagenesis
namespace: biological_process
def: "OBSOLETE. The process by which genetic material undergoes a detectable and heritable structural change. There are three categories of mutation: genome mutations, involving addition or subtraction of one or more whole chromosomes; chromosome mutations, which alter the structure of chromosomes; and gene mutations, where the structure of a gene is altered at the molecular level." [ISBN:0198506732]
comment: This term was made obsolete because mutagenesis is not a valid biological process in which gene products would normally participate. Rather, mutations arise from DNA replication errors or damage by an extrinsic agent.
