About the Book

Applied genetic research, genetic toxicology and mutation research investigate the mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of chemicals and other agents. Permanent mutation in genes and chromosomes can be induced by a plethora of agents, including ionizing and non-ionizing radiations, chemicals and viruses. Among the aspects discussed in this text are the understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to mutations, and the prevention of a thoughtless introduction of mutagenic agents into the environment.
