"Lethal Mutations" a Misnomer or the Start of a Scientific Revolution?

Radiation research - 1 Aug 2024

Mothersill Carmel, Desai Rhea, Seymour Colin B, Mendonca Marc S

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this paper is to review the history surrounding the discovery of lethal mutations, later described as delayed reproductive death. Lethal mutations were suggested very early on, to be due to a generalised instability in a cell population and are considered now to be one of the first demonstrations of "radiation-induced genomic instability" which led later to the establishment of the field of...
