Comparison of genome stability in two pig breeds by using the sister chromatid exchange (SCE) test
Abstract
The sister chromatid exchange (SCE) test has been used to detect genome stability in humans (Chaganti, 1974) and the main livestock species (Ciotola et al., 2004; Di Meo et al., 2000; Di Berardino et al., 1979), and to discover DNA damage caused by a variety of natural and artificial chemical compounds (Iannuzzi et al., 1990).
