Micronuclei in genotoxicity assessment: from genetics to epigenetics and beyond
Micronuclei (MN) are extranuclear bodies that contain damaged chromosome fragments and/or whole chromosomes that were not incorporated into the nucleus after cell division. MN can be induced by defects in the cell repair machinery and accumulation of DNA damages and chromosomal aberrations. A variet...
