Abstract excerpt
Ionizing radiation is known to induce genomic instability that is transmitted across many generations of the progeny of surviving cells. However, the mechanism underlying the initiation, perpetuation and manifestation of radiation-induced genomic instability remains unclear. We expect that large radiation-induced deletions destabilize the structure of chromatin and that this destabilization is transmitted across...
