title: In CHEF electrophoresis a linear induction of dsb corresponds to a nonlinear fraction of extracted DNA with dose.
abstract: A theory for DNA double-strand break (dsb) analysis by pulsed field electrophoresis is presented, based on the size distribution of DNA fragments, which converts an induction of dsb linear with dose into a nonlinear fraction of extractable DNA, in agreement with experimental observations.
