Abstract excerpt
Theories on the causes of aging, based on the accumulation of somatic mutations in tissues of an organism, were formulated decades ago, but remain insufficiently tested. Transgenic animals, equipped with integrated bacterial reporter genes that can be efficiently rescued from total genomic DNA of all tissues and organs, represent ideal tools for investigating the types and frequencies of spontaneous mutants...
