Distinct types of genotoxicity tests, summarized from [65].

Type of Test	Description
Ames Test	Detects point mutations using Salmonella typhimurium bacterial strains sensitive to mutagens.
Mouse Lymphoma Assay	It uses mammalian cells to detect point mutations and can detect clastogenic lesions in genes.
HGPRT Assay	It uses mammalian cells to detect point mutations.
Unscheduled DNA Synthesis (UDS) Assay	Detects DNA damage and repair using both in vitro and in vivo methods.
Chromosomal Aberration Assay	Allows direct observation of chromosome damage using both in vitro and in vivo methods.
Mouse Micronucleus Assay	Detects chromosome damage using mammalian cells.
