Abstract excerpt
We now know that genomic instability contributes to cancer. The zebrafish mosaic eye assay developed by George Streisinger takes advantage of the organism's transparency to provide an excellent assay for detecting somatic mutation. This assay allowed us to identify zebrafish mutants with increased frequencies of somatic mutation and spontaneous cancer. Here, we have described details of mutagenesis, the basis and...
