Increase of somatic cell mutations in oxidative damage-sensitive drosophila

Abstract Background Oxidative damage is an important genotoxic source for almost all organisms. To efficiently detect mutations induced by oxidative damage, we previously developed a urate-null Drosophila strain. Using this Drosophila strain, we showed the mutagenic activity of environmental cigaret...
