Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Page B. McKinzie's research focuses on investigating mutagenicity and its detection using advanced sequencing technologies. Their work involves evaluating the effects of various compounds, including Molnupiravir and N-nitrosodimethylamine, on cellular and organismal genomes. McKinzie employs high-fidelity (HiFi) and error-corrected next-generation sequencing methods, such as PacBio sequencing, to detect ultralow-frequency substitution mutations across diverse biological systems, including bacterial and mammalian cells, mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells, and Caenorhabditis elegans worms.

Further research includes the genome-wide detection of off-target mutations in genome-edited cell populations and the characterization of mutagenicity in vivo. McKinzie also studies mutational signatures in specific cell types, such as T-lymphocytes in rats treated with known mutagens, and investigates erythrocyte PIG-A mutant frequencies in cancer patients undergoing specific treatments. Their publications demonstrate a consistent application of molecular biology techniques to assess genetic damage and mutation frequencies in various contexts.
