Ionising radiation induces DNA damage in the cells of the foodstu †. This fact was used to analyse DNA from single cells by agarose gel electrophoresis (DNA comet assay). The pattern formed by the DNA after electrophoresis (DNA comet) was visualised in a microscope, where hundreds of cells could be

✦ Synopsis
The hatchability rate did not show the significant differences between the groups of egg irradiated and the control group (P > 0.05). And the parameters such as average weight, feed conversion and week feed consumption did not show significant differences between the groups of eggs irradiated and the non irradiated group either (P > 0.05). The results that the electron irradiation on hatching eggs did not cause any effect on hatchability and broiler performance.

The single cell gel electrophoresis, or comet assay, under alkaline conditions is a sensitive, simple and rapid method for the detection of DNA damage at the individual cell level. Its applicability as an indicator for the DNA crosslinking potency of a test substance was investigated in human white

We have studied comet formation on Vicia faba nuclei embedded in agarose and treated with the endonucleases DNase I (to produce SSBs or DSBs at random sites), FokI (to produce DSBs preferentially within FokI repeats), or EcoRI (to produce DSBs at random sites but not within FokI elements). DNase I-i
