Abstract excerpt
The white and vermilion loci in D. melanogaster were selected as target genes for the study of the mutational specificity of ionizing radiation and N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) in a whole organism. Analysis of X-ray- and neutron-induced white mutants by a combination of genetic and molecular techniques showed that ionizing radiation induces primarily break-type mutations against a repair-proficient background, the...
