Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous mutations seem to be caused almost entirely by endogenous lesions. The pattern of these lesions along a gene represents an equilibrium between damage and repair. A pattern can be measured using ligation-mediated PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and a large chronic dose of a suspected endogenous mutagen. A study using dimethylsulfate-induced 7meGuanine lesions indicates that the exogenously induced...
