Sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) represent the interchange of DNA replication products at apparently homologous loci. These exchanges presumably involve DNA breakage and reunion, although little is known about the molecular basis of sister chromatid exchange formation, and information about the biological significance of exchanges is largely circumstantial. In spite of these uncertainties, analysis of sister chromatid exchange formation in cytological systems has already provided information about chromosome structure and has been used to detect the effects of clastogens and to differentiate between chromosome fragility diseases.
