The +vely charged acridine dyes or acridine orange are potent mutagens that induce frameshift mutations by Intercalation.
#Id: 640
The +vely charged acridine dyes also causes Slippage and Slippage causes COPY NUMBER MUTATION.
#Id: 641
COPY NUMBER MUTATION are analyzed by simple PCR technique.
#Id: 642
Alkylating agents are chemicals that donate alkyl groups to other molecules as nitrogen mustard, and methyl and ethyl methane sulfonate (MMS and EMS).
#Id: 643
EMS causes ethylation of the bases in DNA at the 7-N and the 6-O positions of G cause G:C → A:T transitions.
#Id: 644
Alkylating agents induce all types of mutations, including transitions, transversions, frameshifts, and even chromosome aberrations.
