Chinese hamster cells meet DNA repair: an entirely acceptable affair.

Abstract excerpt

This personal account relates the advent of mutant isolation and other developments in somatic cell genetics that were critical steps toward isolating DNA repair mutants in mammalian cells. The isolation of auxotrophic and temperature-sensitive mutants in genetically stable Chinese hamster cell during the late 1960s and early 1970s provided a conceptual framework in which to later isolate mutations conferring...
