Sub-Nanoparticle Femto Atometry: Measurement of Genome Lengths of Mammalian Tissues

Measurement of porcine and bovine genome length, giga nucleotide base pairs, Gbp, was made by irradiating each tissue for 30' with neutrons of femto DeBroglie $\lambda \quad \sim $ 10$^{-15}$ m, which, unlike nanoparticles, interact only locally with atomic nuclei in nucleotide. O and C atoms were counted via $\gamma $ rays emitted from (n, n' $\gamma )$ reaction. By irradiating free dA, dC and T nucleotides for 30' we got response constant: (1,450 $\pm $ 44) $\gamma $/O. From 2 measurements we obtained 2.59 $\pm $ .05 and 3.19 $\pm $ .06 Gbp for porcine and bovine, respectively, consistent with 2.7 and 3 Gbp (errors not quoted) obtained by genome sequencing method that took 6 years each.
