| Abstract | It is well established that exposure to solar UVB (290-320 nm) gives rise to mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that initiate the molecular cascade toward skin cancer. Although UVA (320-400 nm) has also been implicated in multistage photocarcinogenesis, its potential contribution to sunlight mutagenesis remains poorly characterized. We have determined the DNA sequence specificity of mutations induced by UVB (lambda > 290 nm), and by UVA (lambda > 350 nm), at the adenine phosphoribosyltransferase locus of Chinese hamster ovary cells. This has been compared to results previously obtained for stimulated sunlight (lambda > or = 310 nm) and 254-nm UVC in the same gene. We demonstrate that T-->G transversions, a generally rare class of mutation, are induced at high frequency (up to 50%) in UVA-exposed cells. Furthermore, this event comprises a substantial proportion of the simulated sunlight-induced mutant collection (25%) but is significantly less frequent (P < 0.05) in cells irradiated with either UVB (9%) or UVC (5%). We conclude that the mutagenic specificity of broad-spectrum solar light in rodent cells is not determined entirely by the UVB component and that UVA also plays an important role. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
