Lee, W R

One objective is to determine the proportion of tritium incorporated into different macromolecules of Drosophila germ cells. The other objective is to determine the nature of mutagenic lesions induced by tritium decay. A specific locus detection system for point mutations that can be analyzed at the molecular level was developed. (ACR)
