Abstract excerpt
Mutants of Drosophila melanogaster that are sensitive to chemical mutagens were analyzed for sensitivity to X-rays and for the capacity to repair single-strand DNA breaks induced by X-rays. Analysis of X-ray sensitivity demonstrated that 74% of the mutants assayed display some X-ray sensitivity, with 75% of the sensitive lines being extremely sensitive. Repair of single-strand breaks was assayed after both high...
