Polytene chromosomes of Chironomidae (Diptera) as a bioassay of trace-metal-induced genome instability
Chironomids are a ubiquitous group of aquatic insects that are very sensitive to environmental stress. Due to the presence of polytene (‘giant’) salivary gland chromosomes, it is possible to define the genome response of several Chironomid species to various stress agents. The aim of this study was...
