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 eva...
