Counteracting quasispecies adaptability: extinction of a ribavirin-resistant virus mutant by an alternative mutagenic treatment. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Lethal mutagenesis, or virus extinction promoted by mutagen-induced elevation of mutation rates of viruses, may meet with the problem of selection of mutagen-resistant variants, as extensively documented for standard, non-mutagenic antiviral ...

Cyto-Genotoxic Assessment of Sulfoxaflor in Allium cepa Root Cells and DNA Docking Studies. [PDF]
Cyto‐genotoxic Assessment of Sulfoxaflor in Allium cepa Root Cells and DNA Docking Studies. ABSTRACT Sulfoxaflor (SFX) is an insecticide that is commonly used for the control of sap‐feeding insects. Since SFX is extensively applied globally, it has been implicated in the substantial induction of environmental toxicity.

Favipiravir Suppresses Zika Virus (ZIKV) through Activity as a Mutagen
In a companion paper, we demonstrated that the nucleoside analogue favipiravir (FAV) suppressed Zika virus (ZIKV) replication in three human-derived cell lines—HeLa, SK-N-MC, and HUH-7.

Abstract The OECD Test Guideline 488 (TG 488) for the Transgenic Rodent Gene Mutation Assay has undergone several revisions to update the recommended design for studying mutations in somatic tissues and male germ cells. The recently revised TG recommends a single sampling time of 28 days following 28 days of exposure (i.e., 28 + 28 days) for all ...

In vivo and in vitro random mutagenesis techniques in plants
Mutations are changes in the genetic material that may be transmitted to subsequent generations. Mutations appear spontaneously in nature and are one of the underlying driving forces of evolution. In plants, in vivo and in vitro random mutagenesis relies
