Did you mean DNA fragmentation?

GlossaryDNA fragmentation

breaking of DNA strands into smaller pieces

DNA fragmentation refers to the breaking of DNA strands into smaller pieces. This can occur naturally during processes like apoptosis (programmed cell death) or can be induced by external factors such as radiation or certain chemicals. In a clinical or research setting, measuring DNA fragmentation can be important for understanding cell health, diagnosing diseases, or assessing the quality of sperm in fertility studies.
