Abstract
The present invention is a method of identifying and assessing DNA euchromatin in biological cells. The amount and/or distribution of DNA euchromatin generally relates to RNA/protein synthesis, which may change in certain conditions, such as disease, and/or cellular response to environmental and/or chemical agents. The present invention detects the potential presence of disease by assessing DNA euchromatin in ostensibly normal cells and similarly provides means to monitor and assess treatment response. The present invention may also be used to assess how application (or removal) of influences, such as environment, radiation, chemical agents, medications, herbs, vitamins, etc., interact to effect cells, establishing uses in monitoring wellness and pharmacological screening. Additional uses include assessing age related disorders, allergies, infections, Alzheimer's disease, 'Time of Death', chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. The method may be advantageously applied to biological cells including micro-organisms, plants, animals, or cultured cells, alone or in conjunction with other markers.
