Mutagenesis

Section information

Even though the development of genome-wide techniques has rapidly improved, mutagenesis can still be best assessed at the single-cell level using molecular cytogenetics. Corresponding research and review articles are welcome.

  1. Small subchromosomal deletions and duplications caused by copy number variants (CNVs) can now be detected with noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) technology. However, the clinical utility and validity of this...
