Some of that will come from agencies such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which recently began fingerprinting all visitors arriving at airports and seaports and traveling on visas--essentially, citizens of developing countries. CBP chose Cross Match fingerprint scanners for deployment at its checkpoints in 115 U.S. airports and 14 seaports, in a contract initially worth just $1.8 million...
...million cases of salmonella infection reported last year. And it was precisely because occurrences of the Saintpaul strand are so rare that the report caught the CDC's attention. When Texas and a few other states reported cases of people being infected by bacteria with the same "genetic fingerprint," a multistate search for Salmonella Saintpaul was launched. While the CDC tracked reported illnesses, the FDA interviewed victims to find out what they had eaten (and where). The common answer was tomatoes...
...ensure they're not carrying flash drives or laptops, according to CEO Liam Brown. Computers don't have disc drives, usable usb ports or CD burners, and most can't print. Attorneys work for a specific client in areas called dedicated delivery centers, which are accessible via a fingerprint scan and monitored by cameras. Each room can hold up to 36 terminals--many of them with dual screens. The company never stores data locally. Rather, the lawyers work directly on the client's server and only over a secure line or via the Internet. The space becomes a "virtual extension...
Using a genetic fingerprint, researchers at the University of Utah's Huntsman Cancer Institute tracked the founder genetic mutation - a mutation that has been traced from many individuals in the present-day population to a common ancestor - back to the Frys. The Fry mutation has not been found in other places that researchers have looked - not in England, Denmark or Germany - further confirming that the mutation started with the Fry immigrants. (The researchers believe the genetic change either originated with George Fry or his wife, or that it began with a Fry in England, who died before passing it further...
Neklason and her colleagues are still hunting down other people who have inherited a genetic risk. So far, the researchers have identified 13 other families in the U.S. who have the same genetic fingerprint and founder mutation and are all related. "We think those other 13 families out there link in at some point and we predict that there are hundreds of families out there who carry this genetic risk," says Neklason...
