Application of the comet assay, micronucleus test and global DNA methylation analysis in Darevskia lizards as a sentinel organism for genotoxic monitoring of soil pollution

In conclusion, the current study suggests that DNA damage and global DNA methylation may be applied to Darevskia lizards as a sentinel organism for assessing the effects of environmental pollutants.
