The identities of two Detroit men, each found dead years ago, were resolved via DNA testing and genetic genealogy.
Call it the science of small, but a trio of University of Florida chemical engineers have developed a lab-on-a-chip process that could make a big difference for DNA research and, ultimately, patients.
Nearly 30 years after a prominent real estate developer was killed in a car bombing, the attorney for one of the people convicted in the murder is seeking a new trial.
1."My Dad is an identical twin. So, all three of my uncle's children should be my half-siblings genetically. They did 23andMe a few years after my siblings and I did. One cousin showed up as a half-sibling, one showed up as a first-second-degree cousin, and the last didn’t show up at all."
David Paul Cady Jr. has been formally charged in a 1996 cold case murder. DNA evidence has tied him to the death of Mary Moore Searight 30 years ago.
Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then, numerous studies have explored the ways in which Neandertal DNA affects our modern physiology,
The HPD Scientific Investigation Section Forensic Biology Unit confirmed Thursday night that human remains discovered off Ke Iki Beach matched the DNA profile of missing teen Joseph “Joey” Fujioka. The family has been notified.
A recent study published in Cell reveals that the repeated DNA sequence that leads to Huntington’s disease (HD) expands slowly over several decades in disease-specific neurons, eventually leading to generation of these neurons and onset of the disease.
Purification removes contaminants from DNA samples, ensuring the integrity of the genetic material and providing more accurate results.
Investigators have positively identified human remains found within the Monongahela National Forest back in 2021.Cassie Sheetz, 24, of Upper Tract was reported
HPD confirms that the human remains found at Ke Iki Beach match the DNA of one of the teens that were reported missing on Oahu’s North Shore.
