Radiation-induced lesions in DNA can be considered to be molecular markers for early
effects of ionizing radiation. Gamma radiation produces a wide spectrum of DNA. Some of
these lesions, ie, DNA strand breaks and alkali labile sites can be detected by the single-cell
gel electrophoresis (SCGE) or comet assay by measuring the migration of DNA from
immobilized nuclear DNA. E. fetida were exposed to different doses of gamma radiation, ie …
