Interference in DNA replication can cause mitotic chromosomal breakage unassociated with double-strand breaks.

Interference in DNA replication can cause mitotic chromosomal breakage unassociated with double-strand breaks.

Morphological analysis of mitotic chromosomes is used to detect mutagenic chemical compounds and to estimate the dose of ionizing radiation to be administered. It has long been believed that chromosomal breaks are always associated with double-strand breaks (DSBs). We here provide compelling evidenc...
