Beginning in 1973, issues have separately titled sections: DNA repair reports, 1983-1989; DNA repair, 1989-2001; Mutation research letters, 1981-1995; Fundamental and molecular mechanisms of mutagenesis, 1988-<2005>; Environmental mutagenesis and related subjects, 1973-1996; Genetic toxicology and environmental mutagenesis, 1997-<2005>; Genetic toxicology testing, 1976-1987; Genetic toxicology testing and biomonitoring of environmental or occupational exposure, 1988-1994; Genetic toxicology, 1994-1996; DNAging : genetic instability and aging, 1989-1995; Reviews in genetic toxicology, 1975-1996; Reviews in mutation research, 1997-<2005>; Mutation research genomics, 1997-2001, all in a single numbering sequence; Genetic toxicology and environmental mutagenesis, <2010->.

For <2007->, the three extant sections of this title share blocks of vol. numbering; for example, in 2009, v. 660-671 are Fundamental and molecular mechanisms of mutagenesis, v. 672-680 are Genetic toxicology and environmental mutagenesis, and v. 681-682 are Reviews in mutation research.

Posseduto: Vol. 1 (1964)-544 (2003) ; lacks vol. 105/106 (1982)
