At the proximal part of mouse chromosome 17 there are three well-defined genes affecting the axis of the embryo and consequently tail length: Brachyury, Brachyury the second, and the t-complex tail interaction (T1, T2, and tct). The existence of T1 and tct in fact defines the classical "t-complex" that occupies approximately 40 cM of mouse chromosome 17. Their relationship to each other and various unlinked interacting genes has been enigmatic.

A rhodium compound, Rh(NH3)3Cl3, does not sensitize the spores of Bacillus megaterium to X-rays. However, it is a very effective sensitizer of vegetative cells of Staphylococcus aureus, raising the sensitivity four times in O2 and over 100 times in anoxia. The inhibition by oxygen of the sensitizing action of Rh(III), which operates over a wide range of [O2], is noteworthy.

The radiation sensitivity of spores of Bacillus megaterium is markedly increased by transplatin in both N2 and O2, and in a manner suggesting the involvement of hydroxyl radicals in both instances, thus differing mechanistically from its isomer cisplatin.
