→No new genetic info?
The statement that "mutations that create new genetic information have never been observed" is simply false, unless you're using some unusual definition of genetic information, in which case that should be explained. [[User:Dadsnagem2|Dadsnagem2]] 21:55, 7 January 2008 (EST)

:No, it's not false, and I would consider it a usual use of "information", although not the meaningless (literally) definition that evolutionists often use (i.e. any change (except perhaps a deletion) is by definition new information). However, I do take your point that the definition wasn't explained. As a partial answer to that, I've linked "information", and although that article doesn't specifically mention ''genetic'' information, it's better than nothing. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.

==According to Molecular Pathology==
There are three main classes of mutation with several subclasses.
===Deletions===
Deletions of DNA ranging from 1 bp to megabases.
===Insertions===
Insertions of DNA including duplications.
===Single base substitutions===
====Missense Mutations====
Replacement of one amino acid with another in the gene product.
====Nonsense Mutations====
Replacement of an amino acid codon with a stop codon.
====Splice Site Mutations====
Create or destroy signals for exon-intron splicing
Within these main classes a mutation can be consided a loss of function or gain of function. There are also Frameshifts and Dynamic Mutations. Since I did not start this article I want to know if anyone would object if I made these corrections as well as provide some background information about what exactly these mutations trully are?--[[User:Able806|Able806]] 09:07, 12 February 2008 (EST)
