The result is often a new influenza strain born with genetic information from multiple parental strains. (sciencedaily.com)
When they tested the mutant viral strain and the original parental strain in glioblastoma stem cells, they found that the original strain was more potent, but that the mutant strain also succeeded in killing the cancerous cells. (sciencedaily.com)
In these analyses, six of 90 F1 progeny (∼ 7 %) showed a distinct phenotype compared to the haploid parental strain XL280 and the remaining 84 progeny showed no phenotypic differences from the wild - type (Figure 3A and Figure S3). (journals.plos.org)
