...could have the same print, whether there could be abuse by police, whether there would be care in sample taking, and so on."Probe and Run an Autoradlograph The membrane is soaked in a solution containing microscopic radioactive probes, which bind to speclife parts of the DNA molecule. The strands are then exposed on X-ray him. When the firm is developed, the strand with the probe attached shows up on the firm, leaving a mark that can be compared with samples in existing databases...
Scientists at the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago have designed a special-purpose biochemical "superchip" that can determine gene sequences -- the precise arrangement of the chemical building blocks that make up a strand of DNA -- 1,000 times as fast as conventional means. If it performs as promised, the 1-in.-sq. chip could shave years -- and hundreds of millions of dollars -- off the Human Genome Project, the worldwide effort to decipher each of the 100,000 genes found in a human cell...
Dana used to hide the bruises on her neck with her long red hair. On June 18, her husband made sure she could not afford even that strand of camouflage. Ted ambushed Dana (not their real names) as she walked from her car to a crafts store in Denver. Slashing with a knife, Ted, a pharmaceutical scientist, lopped off Dana's ponytail, then grabbed her throat, adding a fresh layer of bruises to her neck...
First, Harvard went into New Haven, Conn., two weekends ago to face Red Rolfe Division leading Yale, needing to win three of the four games to pull even in the standings. Game one was a Yale blowout, game two saw Harvard strand the tying run at second in the final inning, and the two teams split the final two games.

...Eckardt could possibly pull off the attack. The plotters' schemes would seem almost ludicrous if it weren't for their viciousness. A scenario that called for running Kerrigan's car off the road was rejected because the team was afraid that their own "beater car" might be disabled and strand them at the scene of the crime. The hitman, Shane Stant, roamed Cape Cod in a vain attempt to find his quarry. She wasn't there, though Gillooly claims that Harding herself made phone calls to get the times of Kerrigan's practices. When Stant finally scored in Detroit, Eckardt...
