Antimutagenic specificity against spontaneous and nitrofurazone-induced mutations in Escherichia coli K12ND160.

abstract：:Despite their prime candidate status, polymorphisms near genes involved in DNA repair or in other functions related to genome stability have been conspicuously under-represented in the significant associations reported from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of cancer susceptibility. In this study, we assessed a s...
