Abstract excerpt
To assess the possibility that strong static magnetic fields cause DNA damage and mutation, we examined the genotoxic effects of magnetic field exposure by using the somatic mutation and recombination test system in DNA repair-proficient and -deficient strains of Drosophila melanogaster. A postreplication repair-defective mutation mei-41D5 and/or a nucleotide excision repair-defective mutation mei-9(a) was...
