Development of a biological dosimeter for translocation scoring based on two-color fluorescence in situ hybridization of chromosome subsets.

abstract：:X-ray induced formation of micronuclei is generally thought to result from DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). However, DNA DSBs inhibit the cell cycle progression that is required for micronucleus formation. In order to reconcile this apparent discrepancy, we investigated whether DNA DSBs induced during the G1 phase cou...
