Mutagenesis screening, in which heritable traits are isolated following damage to the genome, is a powerful approach for investigating gene function. Among vertebrate model organisms, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) is ideally suited to mutagenesis screens. The success of large-scale screens
Human lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from WI-L2 exhibit unexpected frequencies of diaminopurine (DAP) resistant mutants. The background mutant fractions of 10(-7) to 10(-8) in untreated cultures are much lower than the frequencies expected for loss of a heterozygous autosomal locus
Multiple drug resistance (MDR) mechanisms are known to limit the effectiveness of some cancer chemotherapies, probably through enhancing P-glycoprotein-mediated drug efflux from mammalian cells. Similar mechanisms appear to act in other organisms, including bacteria, and may affect not only the
The specificity of frameshift mutations induced by several classes of chemical mutagens was determined using a collection of mutant E. coli lacZ genes. This collection can detect each of five kinds of specific frameshift events by scoring Lac+ revertant colonies.
In order to investigate the influence of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) events on mutation rate, we studied two closely related human lymphoblastoid cell lines, AHH-1 (h2E1.v2) and MCL-5, which are heterozygous at the tk locus (chromosome 17q23-25). Although they have
