Minimum Information for Reporting on the Comet Assay (MIRCA): recommendations for describing comet assay procedures and results. [PDF]
Nat Protoc, 2020 AbstractThe comet assay is a widely used test for the detection of DNA damage and repair activity. However, there are interlaboratory differences in reported levels of baseline and induced damage in the same experimental systems. These differences may be attributed to protocol differences, although it is difficult to identify the relevant conditions ...

Comet assay in myelodysplastic syndromes [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2012 The comet assay (single-cell gel electrophoresis) has been established as a simple, rapid, flexible and sensitive method of detecting DNA damage in single cells(1,2). Cells embedded in agarose on a microscope slide are lysed with detergent. Electrophoresis at high pH results in structures resembling comets, observed by fluorescence microscopy; the ...

Neutral Comet Assay to Detect and Quantitate DNA Double-Strand Breaks in Hematopoietic Stem Cells [PDF]
Bio-Protocol, 2021 In vertebrates, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) regulate the supply of blood cells throughout the lifetime and help to maintain homeostasis. Due to their long lifespan, genetic integrity is paramount for these cells, and accordingly, a number of stem ...
