Abstract excerpt
We investigated the effects of gamma-ray exposures at high dose-rate (HDR, 23.2 Gy/min) and low dose-rate (LDR, 0.47 Gy/min) on survival and the induction of DNA double-strand breaks (dsb) in a diploid wild-type (D7) and the repair-deficient mutant strain rad52/rad52 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) using a contour homogeneous electric field apparatus revealed that,...
