Abstract excerpt
Sensitive and precise models are needed to identify potential genotoxicity at environmentally relevant doses of mutagens. The size length alterations in expanded simple tandem repeat (ESTR) loci have been used as a biomarker of genetic instability caused by a variety of agents in the mouse germline. The mechanisms operating in both spontaneous and induced instability are poorly understood. We have developed a...
