DNA double-strand breaks: their repair and relationship to cell killing in yeast.

International journal of radiation biology - 1 Oct 1990

Frankenberg-Schwager M, Frankenberg D

Abstract excerpt

Yeast is a suitable eukaryotic organism in which to study DNA double-strand breakage measured by the neutral sucrose gradient sedimentation technique and cell killing in the same range dose of sparsely ionizing radiations. Radiosensitive mutants (including temperature conditional ones) exist in w...
