...species allow researchers to identify the most biologically important genetic elements in humans, Mikkelsen said. “This is a significant step toward assembling a complete parts list for the human genome,” he added. Mikkelsen and fellow researchers have found that the majority of the DNA common to all three mammals was significant for their growth and development. Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, the first author of the Nature paper and co-director of the Genome Sequencing and Analysis program at the Broad, said that because the DNA sequences, or haplotypes, are much longer in dogs than...

In the petition, Ballard stands by his original claim that...
...case. No wonder prosecutor D.J. Hansen, who put the men behind bars, says there is nothing new in the petition that wasn't tested in the normal judicial process. "Justice was done," he says. But as Carol Moore has learned the hard way, in the age of CSI and DNA, justice is never truly done, even if it appears as if the truth has already spoken...
