Are There Any Alternatives to the Micronucleus Test?
Yes, other genotoxicity assays such as the comet assay, chromosomal aberration test, and the Ames test are available. Each of these assays has its own set of advantages and limitations. The comet assay, for example, is highly sensitive to DNA strand breaks, while the Ames test is a bacterial assay commonly used to screen for mutagenic properties.
