And novel mutations with unknown effects keep cropping up.

These claims have been widely rejected by the scientific community; new information is regularly generated in evolution, whenever a novel mutation or gene duplication arises.

According to new research in Nature, this ability may be due to a novel mutation that helps bats sense heat.

His neutral theory of molecular evolution proposes that most novel mutations will be highly deleterious, with a small fraction being neutral.

These hard sweeps are often assumed to start from a novel mutation.

However, some may be novel mutations that have not been investigated.

More than 25 mutations have been reported other than novel mutations.

Such screening would identify novel as well as known mutations.

Most people inherit this condition from one of their parents, but new cases do arise through novel mutations.

Recently it has been very important to determine the novel mutations.
