Application of image-recognition techniques to automated micronucleus detection in the in vitro micronucleus assay [PDF]
Genes and EnvironmentBackground An in vitro micronucleus assay is a standard genotoxicity test. Although the technique and interpretation of the results are simple, manual counting of the total and micronucleus-containing cells in a microscopic field is tedious.
