Re-analysis of radiation-induced specific locus mutations in the mouse.

Nature - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

A re-analysis of published data on mouse mutation rates induced by X and gamma rays suggests that the kinetics of induction can be analysed by fitting the data to a parabolic curve. We interpret this to mean that a substantial proportion of the induced mutations results from gross chromosomal cha...
