Abstract:Research into the biophysical properties of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and the mechanisms underlying genetic mutations has undergone marked advancements. The intriguing nature of mutations resulting from retroviral DNA insertion has garnered considerable attention. Whether these mutations are random or region-specific, the distribution patterns of mutation sites have been the focus of numerous research endeavours. This mutation mechanism originates from interactions between host DNA and the pre-integration co… Show more
