Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The transgenic rodent mutation reporter assay provides an efficient approach to identify mutagenic agents in vivo. A major advantage of this assay is that mutant reporter transgenes can be sequenced to provide information on the mode of action of a mutagen and to identify clonally expanded mutations. However, conventional DNA sequence analysis is laborious and expensive for long transgenes, such as...
