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 ...

ATM deficiency results in accumulation of DNA-Topoisomerase I covalent intermediates in neural cells [PDF]
, 2013 Accumulation of peptide-linked DNA breaks contributes to neurodegeration in humans. This is typified by defects in tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) and human hereditary ataxia.
