“Yes, but site-directed mutagenesis is not the same as either evolution or ID – it's a special and limited case.”
“The experiment I referenced demonstrated (actually a series of experiments) that DNA damage in M. tuberculosis results in the induction of an SOS-regulated polymerase (DNAE2), which causes base substitution mutagenesis, that is, the experiment was set up so that the only drug resistant mutations that was scored was base substitution mutagenesis.”
“To understand the role of the contact HLA-G residues in HLA-G recognition by NK cells we performed an extensive site-directed mutagenesis which is listed in HLA-G is markedly different from HLA-C and other selected MHC class I molecules in the contact residues between KIR and HLA-C.”
“Additional studies such as mutagenesis of Ser112 of BAD”
“Smith's work forms the basis for site-directed mutagenesis, a technique by which it is possible to change a specific amino-acid in a protein and thereby illuminate its functional role.”

“Evaluating the results of their experiments the Clemson researchers concluded: "Juice from strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry fruit significantly inhibited mutagenesis.”
“I also started my first mutagenesis and began looking for touch-insensitive mutants.”
“An understanding of evolution as endogenous adaptive mutagenesis looks to "have many practical implications?”
“Cantankerous and rigid with old age, Morgan refused to give Muller full recognition for his theory of mutagenesis, which he regarded as a largely derivative observation.”
