New QSAR models to predict chromosome damaging potential based on the in vivo micronucleus test
py was applied on the training set to automatically extract sets of rules by generating and selecting substructures based on their prediction performance whereas the test set was used to evaluate model ...
Risk assessment of chlorinated paraffins in feed and food
as the target organ. The Panel selected as reference points a BMDL10 of 2.3 mg/kg bw per day for increased incidence of nephritis in male rats, and of 36 mg/kg bw per day for increased relative kidney ...
Risk assessment of aflatoxins in food
exposure. Aflatoxins are genotoxic and AFB1 can cause hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC s) in humans. The CONTAM Panel selected a benchmark dose lower confidence limit (BMDL) for a benchmark response of 10% of ...
A new multiplex RT-qPCR method for the simultaneous detection and discrimination of Zika and chikungunya viruses
and chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses simultaneously. Methods Two methods targeting different genome segments were selected from the literature for each virus. These were adapted for high genome coverage and ...
