Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is a major mutagenic environmental agent, causing the appearance of DNA adducts that, if unrepaired, may give rise to mutations. Ultraviolet radiation has been indicated ...
If decades of cheesy sci-fi and pop culture have taught us anything, it’s that radiation is a universally bad thing that invariably causes the genetic mutations that gifted us with everything from ...
The formation of uracil/thymine dimers can cause frameshift or point mutations in the genome known as mutational signatures. Sometimes, the nonionizing can induce mutations in viral RNA with no ...
