Loskutov was released, but his trial is set for later this summer. The artist thinks it will be a litmus test for others. "I think the result will say a lot about the state of art in Russia," he says. "If I am found innocent, it will prove that there is a certain freedom to express oneself.

In recent years, DNA evidence has also been instrumental in identifying human remains. Authorities established a massive genetic database following the Sept. 11 attacks, and DNA science helped give closure to the relatives of victims...
