  Mutation information - Search.com
Mutations can be caused by copying errors in the genetic material during cell division and by exposure to radiation, chemicals, or viruses, or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as meiosis or hypermutation.
Mutations are considered the driving force of evolution, where less favorable (or deleterious) mutations are removed from the gene pool by natural selection, while more favorable (beneficial or advantageous) ones tend to accumulate.
For example, a common mutation associated with Huntington disease is an increased number of copies of repeated CGA triplets in the Huntingtin gene.

  Mutation
Mutations (or mutagenesis, both words originating in the Latin word mutare, to change) are permanent, transmissible changes to the genetic material (usually DNA or RNA) of an organism.
Mutations can be caused by copying errors in the genetic material during cell division and by exposure to radiation, chemicals, or viruses.
Mutations are considered the driving force of evolution, where less favorable mutations are removed by natural selection, but favorable ones tend to accumulate.

Neutral mutations do not affect the organism's chances of survival in its natural environment and can accumulate over time, which might result in what is known as punctuated equilibrium; the modern interpretation of classic evolutionary theory.

 mutation | English | Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
Mutations can be caused by copying errors in the genetic material during cell division and by exposure to radiation, chemicals (mutagens), or viruses, or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as meiosis or hypermutation.
In multicellular organisms, mutations can be subdivided into germline mutations, which can be passed on to descendants, and somatic mutations.
The somatic mutations cannot be transmitted to descendants in animals.

 CiteULike: Automatic Extraction of Protein Point Mutations Using a Graph Bigram Association
The graph bigram method is different from other models for point mutation extraction in that it incorporates frequency and positional data of all terms in an article to drive the point mutation–protein association.
Importantly, in situations where more than one protein can be assigned to a point mutation and disambiguation is required, the graph bigram metric achieves a precision of 0.84 compared with the word distance metric precision of 0.73.

 CyberSleuthing!: Keyword Mutation Detection and the Art of Seeking | ERE Blog Network
Perhaps the “holy grail” in my line of work is the disambiguation of search results, or at least that is a worthy goal I have been approaching with forced baby steps due to lack of innovation in our space.
Though SEO’s goal is to improve the ranking of their commercial pages, thus effectively being the diametrical opposite of what us seekers do (we need to find non-commercial information about potential leads), these SEO tools give me direct insight to what users are doing and how search engines are optimizing their index.
Think of something as simple as the word resume which could be used in the context of “resuming an activity” just as easily as it is used in the traditional “work experience summary” fashion.
