Hi Phil,

Is this historic or fresh damage?  If it's historic, looking for gross
chromosomal abnormalities / partial aneuploidies might be a good approach
(possibly easier with a microscope).  If it's fresh, how about
nick-translation with labelled bases, or for gross damage, DNA cell cycle
perturbation?
