This volume presents a comprehensive collection of quick assays for the detection of nuclear
and mitochondrial DNA damage and its effects in live and fixed cells and tissues and in
bacterial genomes. Although such rapid techniques are in demand in the research trenches they
are not covered well in the literature. This volume is the first such compendium of the
time-saving techniques for detection of DNA damage and its direct physiological outcomes
including apoptosis necrosis and phagocytic clearance. The volume demonstrates all levels of
detection starting from the molecular level up to the level of the entire live organism.
Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format chapters include
introductions to their respective topics lists of the necessary materials and reagents
step-by-step readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting and
avoiding known pitfalls.Authoritative and cutting-edge Fast Detection of DNA Damage: Methods
and Protocols aims to provide easily reproducible techniques requiring only few steps to
perform.
