Perhaps the most peculiar aspect of chromothripsis is that the rearrangements are largely confined to a single chromosome. This suggests that the causative event occurs during cell division (mitosis), ...

The induction of micronuclei is a key characteristic of genotoxic compounds; for example, clastrogens produce DNA strand breakage while aneugens interfere with chromosome segregation. As a result, ...

[Tim’s] new version of Micronucleus, Micronucleus 2.0, improves upon V-USB by removing the need for interrupts. The original Micronucleus was a very small implementation of V-USB that took up only 2KB ...
