Preface Research in DNA damage detection is a fast-paced field of study. The continuous requirement in this field for ever faster DNA damage assays is driven by the rapidly increasing numbers of samples to be analyzed and by the intensified competition between various scientific groups. The faster assays make possible rapid high-volume and machine-based assessments. Such capability is in demand in drug design, high-throughput industry, environmental studies, and in molecular and clinical pathology research. It enables a pathology laboratory to perform rapid evaluations of DNA damage in either fixed archived tissues or unfixed clinical samples. The ubiquitous nature of DNA damage and its ou
