Abstract excerpt
Pesticides are known to induce genome instability. Reports on eukaryotes, including humans, mostly covers chromosomal aberrations and DNA strand breaks. Studies on scoring of the rates of loci-specific somatic mutations such as point mutations (PM), somatic homologous recombination (SHR), frameshift mutation (FSM), and transpositions due to pesticides are mostly confined to prokaryotes, using Ames test. Analogous...
