Abstract excerpt
Mutations are heritable changes in the nucleotide sequence of DNA that can lead to many adverse effects. Genotoxicity assays have been used to identify chemical mutagenicity. Recently, next generation sequencing (NGS) has been used for this purpose. In this review, we present the progress in NGS application for assessing mutagenicity of chemicals, including the methods used for detecting the induced mutations,...
