The single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assay, or comet assay, is a highly sensitive method to measure DNA damage. The principle of the assay is based on the conversion of single-strand breaks and alkali-labile sites to double-strand breaks via alkaline lysis. The cells are subjected to electroph
Pesticides are broadly used for pest control in agriculture despite possible negative impacts they may pose to the environment. Thus, we examined the DNA damage caused by five herbicides commonly used in southern Ontario (Canada). Erythrocytes from Rana catesbeiana (bullfrog) tadpoles were evaluated
