Mutagens and Multivitamins Not one to shy away from controversy, Bruce Ames has pitted himself against industry groups, environmentalists, and his peers through his work identifying DNA mutagens. And ...

Mutagenic agents can threaten the integrity of the genetic code by causing mutations in DNA. New study says that DNA mutation may represent only a fraction the health-related havoc caused by mutagens.

Exposure to mutagens, or mutation-causing agents, can not only bring about changes in DNA but also appear to induce errors when genes are transcribed to make proteins, which may be an important ...

New research has suggested that our DNA is more susceptible to mutagenic influences in our environment than we've appreciated. While organisms can use mutations to their benefit, changes to the ...
