The Surprising Diversity of UV‐Induced Mutations [PDF]
Advanced GeneticsUltraviolet (UV) light is the most pervasive environmental mutagen and the primary cause of skin cancer. Genome sequencing of melanomas and other skin cancers has revealed that the vast majority of somatic mutations in these tumors are cytosine‐to ...

Using indCAPS to Detect CRISPR/Cas9 Induced Mutations [PDF]
Bio-Protocol, 2019 Cleaved amplified polymorphic sequences (CAPS) assays are useful tools for detecting small mutations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or insertion/deletions (indels) present in an amplified DNA fragment.
