Abstract: Analog information is modulated onto a high repetition rate optical pulse stream. This modulated pulse stream is transmitted over optical medium, such as long distances of fiber, and is then detected. The pulses are removed leaving only the original analog signals. The sampled encoding onto pulses allows transmission of very broad band signals and mitigates the deleterious effects of self phase modulation, dispersion and Stimulated Brillouin Scattering.

Abstract: The invention relates to the role of genes in human diseases. More particularly, the invention relates to compositions and methods for identifying genes that are involved in human disease conditions. The invention provides identification and mapping of a very large number of SNPs throughout the entire human genome. This contribution allows scientists to isolate and identify genes that are relevant to the prevention, causation, or treatment of human disease conditions.
