Abstract excerpt
This paper reviews data on the nature of spontaneous and radiation-induced mutations in the mouse. The data are from studies using a variety of endpoints scorable at the morphological or the biochemical level and include pre-selected as well as unselected loci at which mutations can lead to recessive or dominant phenotypes. The loci used in the morphological recessive specific-locus tests permit the recovery of a...
