That stunned the tribes, since NAGPRA does not include a DNA requirement. Last year Senator John McCain proposed an amendment that might have smoothed things over by broadening NAGPRA to include Indians who were ever indigenous to a particular region. The measure appeared headed for approval until the Interior Department objected to it--a move that helped scuttle the change and only inflamed the situation further.

...long been suggested that there is a link between cancer prevention and soy and broccoli - plus other cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower. Now investigators think they know the reason: a laboratory test found that chemicals in these foods can increase the levels of proteins that repair damaged DNA and so lower the risk of developing breast and prostate cancer. STICK TO PECKS ON THE CHEEKS Parents who want to keep their kids on the straight and narrow just got some support. According to a study published in the British Medical Journal last week, teenagers who French kiss with multiple partners...
...principle, their method is straightforward: to find a disease-related gene, find someone with the disease, then see how his or her DNA differs from the DNA of healthy people. In practice, however, individual genes rarely cause illness on their own; instead, they tend to make people more susceptible. And in places with genetically mixed populations, the complex interaction among genes makes it hard to find the risky ones. But in Iceland, with its uniform population and genealogies that show how everyone is related, risky genes tend to stand out. The country's meticulous medical records provide even more data...
Your article "Whodunit, Doggone It?", about a genetics laboratory that analyzes animal DNA for use in criminal cases [Jan. 30], described an interesting branch of forensics. The report shed light on a new method of investigation. It is amazing how pets can assist us--relaxing us, helping us cope with stress or loneliness and now even providing evidence at a crime scene. The work done by veterinary genetics laboratories will, I hope, continue to aid in administering justice. NATHAN FREY St. Charles...
