The genetic toxicology methodology or assay technique helps to test or evaluate the level of damages of the genetic information caused by toxicants or agents within the cells. In this e-module you will learn about different genetic toxicology assays, different genetic damages, and cytotoxicity and epigenetics assays.

3.1: Introduction to Genetic-toxicology Assay
3.2: Different Genetic Damages or Mutations
3.3: Different Genetic-Toxicology Assays
The goal of genetic toxicology assay is to determine whether any chemical or mutagen will do any adverse effect on genetic material or may cause different diseases including cancer. The assays can be performed using bacterial, yeast, or mammalian cells. One can early control and save vulnerable organisms from genotoxic chemicals by preforming genetic toxicology assay.
3.4: Different Cytotoxicity Assays
The goal of cytotoxicity assay is to determine whether any chemicals or drugs will do any toxic effect or load on milieu or genetic material of the cells caused for lethality of the cells or caused for different diseases.
3.5: Epigenetics Assay
Section 3 Final Evaluation
