The Davis lab boasts the largest database of domesticated-animal DNA in the U.S.--including samples from 1.5 million horses, 25,000 dogs and a barn full of other species, from cows and goats to llamas and alpacas. Last year it fielded roughly 60 criminal cases, plus another 40 or so from insurance companies (typically trying to identify animals that caused property damage) and private citizens (usually wanting to know if the remains found by a road...

Thousands of activists had also fled through the jungle, many staggering into Thailand sick with malaria. To care for them, she set up a makeshift clinic in a nearby barn. As the trickle of evacuees turned into a flood, many of the expats arriving in Thailand headed straight for the clinic...
