Preferred Label : comet assay;
MeSH definition : A genotoxicological technique for measuring DNA damage in an individual cell using
single-cell gel electrophoresis. Cell DNA fragments assume a comet with tail formation
on electrophoresis and are detected with an image analysis system. Alkaline assay
conditions facilitate sensitive detection of single-strand damage.;
