Nitrous acid induces transitions in both directions, A:T ↔ G:C.
#Id: 639
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.

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.
