Fig. 4. DNA neutron experiment overview.

Two different sized files stored in DNA ((i) space shuttle and (ii) CIA world map) were placed in aliquots containing 10³ and 10⁶ copies of each file, respectively. The aliquots were then exposed to different fluence at LANSCE ICE. A schematic of the holder for the DNA samples and orientation in the beam (iii) and a typical mounting of DNA samples on the ChipIR beamline (iv) are shown. The Space Shuttle image is sourced from the NASA Image and Video Library. The CIA world map image is sourced from The World Factbook 2012.
