Comet assay is a quick and versatile technique for assessing DNA damage in individual cells. It allows the detection of DNA single- and double-strand breaks, as well as the presence of alkali-labile sites and cross-links. Here we describe the protocols for the single-cell gel electrophoresis (Comet) assay in its alkaline (pH > 13), mild alkaline (pH = 12.1), and neutral (pH = 8) versions, when applied in marine animals.
彗星试验是一种快速且通用的技术,用于评估单个细胞中的DNA损伤。它能够检测DNA单链和双链断裂,以及碱不稳定位点和交联的存在。在此,我们描述了单细胞凝胶电泳(彗星试验)在碱性(pH > 13)、轻度碱性(pH = 12.1)和中性(pH = 8)条件下应用于海洋动物时的实验方案。
