Abstract excerpt
The w/w+ somatic mutation and recombination test (SMART) of Drosophila melanogaster is a fast and low cost in vivo assay that has shown excellent results in the assessment of genotoxicity of a large number of compounds. However, recent studies have revealed that, when procarcinogens are to be evaluated, the performance of the assay is largely dependent on the genetic background of the strains used. To determine...
