History of radiation genetics: light and darkness.

CONCLUSION: Although powerful methods such as whole-genome-sequencing techniques have become available to detect radiation effects in human germ cells, the mutation induction rate in the genome now appears to be much lower than was previously thought. Consequently, detecting radiation effects in human germ cells still remains a difficult task. PMID: 30676167 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
