Assessing the genotoxicity of two commonly occurring byproducts of water disinfection: Chloral hydrate and bromal hydrate

2016, Stem Cell ReportsCitation Excerpt :Next, we analyzed the cell cycle profiles of hESC in the different conditions. Okazaki fragments also can be misinterpreted as DNA damage using the COMET assay (Olive and Banáth, 1993), so an increase of cells in S phase could have influenced the interpretation of the results described above. However, the S-phase fraction remained constant for all conditions tested, ruling out this bias (Figure 3B; individual profiles are listed in Figure S2).
The linker histone in Saccharomyces cerevisiae interacts with actin-related protein 4 and both regulate chromatin structure and cellular morphology
2015, International Journal of Biochemistry and Cell BiologyCitation Excerpt :Overall chromatin loop organization of the mutants was assessed and compared with that of the progenitor wild type strain by Chromatin Comet Assay (ChCA). Representative ChCA images are shown in Fig. 3A. Chromatin Comet Assay data quantification was done by automatic measurement of the parameter R by means of the TriTek CometScoreTM freeware v1.5 software (Georgieva et al., 2012; Olive and Banath, 1993; Olive et al., 1990). The parameter R allows quantification of general chromatin loop lengths in the nuclei (Georgieva et al., 2012; Georgieva et al., 2008).
Genotoxicity of sediment extracts of the Berre lagoon (France)
2012, ChemosphereCitation Excerpt :Image analysis was performed using the Komet software (Kinetics Imaging) on 100 randomly selected cells (50 cells each of two replicate slides). DNA damage was quantified by the increase of Olive Tail Moment (OTM, arbitrary unit) (Olive and Banáth, 1993). A nonlinear regression analysis was performed on the normalized distribution frequencies using a χ2 function with TableCurve 2D®.
Hho1p, the linker histone of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is important for the proper chromatin organization in vivo
2012, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Gene Regulatory MechanismsCitation Excerpt :The r parameter: The parameter r was defined by the distance [in arbitrary units] between the center of mass of the comet head and the center of mass of the comet tail according to Olive et al. [28]. Tail moment (TM): Tail moment (TM) was calculated by multiplying the percentage of DNA in the tail—IODtail (integrated optical density of the tail) by the parameter r [29]. DNA percentage in the tail was calculated as a part of the whole DNA content in the comet, which was taken as 100%.
Measurement of X-ray-induced DNA double-strand breaks at various stages of the cell cycle using the total fluorescence as a comet assay parameter
2011, Radiation Physics and ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Olive et al. (1992) have utilized this advantage and introduced a new technique for measuring DNA damage at different positions of the cell cycle, basing on the tail moment versus the comet fluorescence bivariate analysis. Later, this technique has been utilized to measure the effects of ionizing radiation on DNA damage at different positions of the cell cycle (Olive and Banath, 1995,1993a,1993b). The results of these studies revealed a lower tail moment and DNA migration from S-phase cells as compared to G1 and G2-cells.
