Abstract excerpt
We have studied spontaneous mutagenesis in five hprt cDNA genes integrated at five different genomic positions in a human lymphoblastoid cell line (TK6). The spectra of 40 mutants from each position were combined to obtain a mutation spectrum of the overall genome. This collection of mutants was used to assess the contribution of several mutagenic processes to spontaneous mutagenesis. Deletions and single base...
