Lee, W. R.

Progress is reported on research in the following areas: determination of mutagenic effects of tritium incorporated into DNA using /sup 32/P, /sup 33/P, and /sup 14/C; dosimetry studies using number of disintegrations per minute per sperm cell; effect of the 5-position of the label of the cytosine moiety on mutation frequency; distribution of labeled thymine and comparison with labeled cytosine and a non-DNA labeled arginine-rich protein; detection of temperature sensitive mutants; induction of mosaics by x radiation; and methods for determining quantitatively the location of tritium in the deoxycytidine moiety.
