  • Publication number: 20070259370
    Abstract: Methods are provided herein for measuring the mutational frequency of a DNA molecule in cells, for example stem cells or hematopoietic cells such as CD34+ cells or granulocytes. The method includes sequencing corresponding regions of mtDNA from a set of hematopoietic cells, or a set of clonal populations of hematopoietic cells, and comparing the sequence of the corresponding regions of mtDNA from the cells, or clonal populations of cells. The method also includes the comparison of mtDNA sequences with genomic DNA sequences. Also provided are methods for screening for an agent that has a mutagenic effect on a cell. The method includes contacting, or treating, clonal populations of cells with an agent and comparing the sequence of the mtDNA obtained from the treated clonal populations of cells, with the sequence of the corresponding region of mtDNA obtained from a control clonal populations of cells.

  • Patent number: 6975942
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for detection of one or more underground utilities. Radar waves and seismic waves of about the same wavelength are generated and communicated into a subsurface. Radar and seismic response signals resulting from communication of the radar and seismic waves into the subsurface are concurrently received. Data associated with the received radar and seismic response signals are stored. One or more underground utilities within the subsurface is/are detected using the stored data. The underground utilities may include metallic and non-metallic utilities.
