Abstract excerpt
Ionizing radiation induces genomic instability, transmitted over many generations through the progeny of surviving cells. It is manifested as the expression of delayed effects such as delayed cell death, delayed chromosomal instability and delayed mutagenesis. Induced genomic instability exerts its delayed effects for prolonged periods of time, suggesting the presence of a mechanism by which the initial DNA...
