COMET
COMET is a technique used to measure DNA damage in individual cells. The name comes from the shape that damaged DNA fragments form when they migrate out of a cell's nucleus under an electric field, resembling a comet with a head and a tail. This assay is widely used in genetics research to study DNA damage from factors like radiation, chemicals, and environmental exposure.
