Abstract excerpt
We previously established a somatic mutation assay of the medaka wl (white leucophores) locus based on visual inspection, and showed that somatic mutations at paternally derived alleles frequently arise during the development of F1 embryos fertilized by sperm/late spermatids that had been exposed to gamma-rays. To further study such delayed mutations, we determined the frequency of mutant embryos obtained from...
