Comet Assay measurements: a perspective [PDF]
Cell Biology and Toxicology, 2007 The Comet Assay or single cell gel electrophoresis assay is one of the very widely used assays to microscopically detect DNA damage at the level of a single cell. The determination of damage is carried out either through visual scoring of cells (after classification into different categories on the basis of tail length and shape) or by using different ...

International Journal of Scientific and Technological Research, 2019 Currently, humans and other living things can have many genotoxic damages due to reasons such as chemicals, drugs, unfavorable environmental effects. Breaks in the DNA structure due to genotoxic damage can cause mutations, changes in chromosome structure and cancer.

Antioxidants and the Comet assay
Mutation Research/Reviews in Mutation Research, 2009 It is widely accepted that antioxidants, either endogenous or from the diet, play a key role in preserving health. They are able to quench radical species generated in situations of oxidative stress, either triggered by pathologies or xenobiotics, and they protect the integrity of DNA from genotoxicants.

Is the Comet Assay a Sensitive Procedure for Detecting Genotoxicity?
Journal of Nucleic Acids, 2010 Although the Comet assay, a procedure for quantitating DNA damage in mammalian cells, is considered sensitive, it has never been ascertained that its sensitivity is higher than the sensitivity of other genotoxicity assays in mammalian cells. To determine

MalariaCometChip for high-throughput quantification of DNA damage in Plasmodium falciparum
STAR Protocols, 2021 Summary: Comet assay is a standard approach for studying DNA damage in malaria, but high-throughput options are not available. The CometChip was previously developed using mammalian cells as a high-throughput version of the comet assay.
