Syntax:
    GIMP: NCG={total number of target genes that must be damaged to induce genomic instability}
Example:
    GIMP: NCG=1

Purpose: the total number of target genes that must be damaged to induce genomic instability

Data Type: integer

Unit: n/a

Default: 1000

Comments:  The number of target genes that may induce genome instability is most likely a small subset of the ~ 30,000 estimated genes in a typical mammalian cell.  Genomic instability tends to increase as the product PGA*PGH*NCG increases.
