DNA damage can lead to carcinogenic mutations and toxicity, and rapid assays using fluorescent readouts have proven effective in quantifying DNA damage and its consequences. These assays are useful for screening genotoxicity of chemicals and have applications in precision prevention and personalized medicine, contributing to improved understanding and treatment of cancer.
DNA damage can lead to carcinogenic mutations and toxicity that promotes diseases. Therefore, having rapid assays to quantify DNA damage, DNA repair, mutations, and cytotoxicity is broadly relevant to health. For example, DNA damage assays can be used to screen chemicals for genotoxicity, and knowledge about DNA repair capacity has applications in precision prevention and in personalized medicine. Furthermore, knowledge of mutation frequency has predictive power for downstream cancer, and assays for cytotoxicity can predict deleterious health effects. Tests for all of these purposes have been rendered faster and more effective via adoption of fluorescent readouts. Here, we provide an overview of established and emerging cell-based assays that exploit fluorescence for studies of DNA damage and its consequences.
