18 Carcinogens, including aflatoxin B(1), benzo(a)pyrene, acetylaminofluorene, benzidine, and dimethylamino-trans-stilbene, are shown to be activated by liver homogenates to form potent frameshift mutagens.

It is difficult to identify mutagen-induced genome-wide somatic mutations using next generation sequencing; hence, mutagenic features of each mutagen and their roles in cancer development require further elucidation.

Replication errors influence mutations, and thus, lifetime cancer risk can be explained by the number of stem-cell divisions. Additionally, mutagens also affect cancer risk, for instance, high-dose radiation exposure increases lifetime cancer risk ...

A systematic review on physical mutagens in rice breeding in Southeast Asia [PDF]
In the 1920s, Lewis Stadler initiated the introduction of permanent improvements to the genetic makeup of irradiated plants. Since then, studies related to breeding mutations have grown, as efforts have been made to expand and improve crop productivity ...

Human urinary mutagenicity after wood smoke exposure during traditional temazcal use. [PDF]
In Central America, the traditional temazcales or wood-fired steam baths, commonly used by many Native American populations, are often heated by wood fires with little ventilation, and this use results in high wood smoke exposure.

Assessment of genotoxic and mutagenic effects of food products by bioassay methods
The current state of studies on application and safety of food additives in various technologies for food production is examined. Considerable attention should be given to studies dedicated to analysis of food safety criteria due to a possibility of ...

DNA Repair in Drosophila: Mutagens, Models, and Missing Genes
The numerous processes that damage DNA are counterbalanced by a complex network of repair pathways that, collectively, can mend diverse types of damage. Insights into these pathways have come from studies in many different organisms, including Drosophila

Genotoxicity assessment of piperitenone oxide: an in vitro and in silico evaluation [PDF]
Piperitenone oxide, a natural flavouring agent also known as rotundifolone, has been studied for the genotoxicity assessment by an integrated in vitro and in silico experimental approach, including the bacterial reverse mutation assay, the micronucleus ...

Induced Mutations Unleash the Potentials of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture
The options for increasing food production by at least 70% over the next four decades so as to keep pace with a rapidly increasing human population are bedeviled by erratic climatic conditions, depleted arable lands, dwindling water resources and by the ...
