title: Chromatid-type aberrations induced by AluI in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
abstract: Treatment of CHO cells with AluI in the S-phase leads to chromatid-type aberrations whose frequencies are linearly correlated with dose. Treatment in the S-phase leads to fewer aberrations than treatment in the G1-phase, which is comparable to chromosomal aberration induction following X-irradiation in the G1- and S-phases. Treatment in the G1-phase leads to few chromatid-type interchanges, some of these may originate from DNA single-strand gaps induced by AluI in canonical structures of DNA and in DNA.RNA hybrids.
