Abstract excerpt

To elucidate the nature of sunlight mutagenesis in mammalian cells, the mutational specificity of simulated solar light (SSL) has been established at the Chinese hamster ovary adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (aprt) locus. Among a collection of 36 independent SSL-induced mutations, the majority...
