Abstract excerpt
Because damage to the cellular DNA is very hazardous for a cell, it is important to identify compounds, which can cause DNA damage. To investigate the mutagenic effect of a particular agent of interest, usually mutation spectra are determined in a selected target gene. The most commonly used method to compare different mutation spectra with each other, is the comparison of the percentages of each type of...
