...That night they got away, but they did leave evidence: DNA, found in a drop of sweat on a latex glove discarded next to a rope ladder used to reach the ground floor. Police ran the material through the German crime database. And they got a hit - two in fact. (See pictures of money being printed in Germany...
...This isn't the first time an identical twin has proved impossible to pin down. The genetic material can thwart paternity tests if both twins claim - or deny - fathering a child. In the U.S., a jury in a rape trial in Houston deadlocked in 2005 when the DNA recovered at the crime scene matched identical twins who had kidnapped their victim together. A year earlier in Boston, a suspected rapist blamed his identical twin when confronted with the matching DNA. Although he was already serving a sentence for a rape conviction, the jury could not agree on a verdict...
Roche recently bought Genentech (DNA), a company in which it was already the largest shareholder. That deal was not just about firing.

...developing non-melanoma skin cancer. According to the study, caffeine appears to reduce the risk of some skin cancers by interrupting the ATR pathway, causing apoptosis or cell suicide of these damaged and potentially cancerous cells. ATR is a protein kinase that is responsible for facilitating the replication of DNA, especially in damaged and dividing cells. While ATR plays a minimal role in normal cells, recently damaged and precancerous cells need the function of ATR, Nghiem explained. The researchers determined that low levels of caffeine have no effect on normal cells. The study specifically addressed the preventative effects of caffeine...
