(Credit: Shriver Claes/Penn State) Putting pencil to paper has been the tried-and-true method to illustrate the faces of wanted criminals, but new technology is changing this traditional approach. DNA, rather than an artists skill, is an emerging tool to recreate the face behind a crime. The new forensic technique is called DNA phenotyping. It relies on DNA, found for instance in a drop of blood, to create a simulated face based upon genetic markers. Although the science still has room to grow, start-up companies in the United States are already producing DNA-based sketches to assist police departments in criminal investigations. One of the leaders in this growing field of research is Penn State Universitys Mark Shriver. In a study published in PLOS Genetics, Shrivers team detailed the process. First they compiled a list of known genetic mutations that cause facial and cranial deformations, because these genes, in their normal variations, could give us our distinctive looks. With these genes marked, researchers compared the genetic profiles of people with vastly different faces in order to highlight, through contrast, which genetic variations were at work. For example, the gene responsible for lip size would be expressed differently in someone with luscious lips … Continue reading →

The study showed that yeast used to brew the perfect lager can also be pressed into service to produce excellent stout. Photograph: The Irish Times There is nothing more Irish than the pint of plain but a DNA analysis of the yeast used to brew stout shows its origins are actually in India. The same study also showed that yeast used to brew the perfect lager can also be pressed into service to produce excellent stout. A research effort to build a comprehensive family tree of yeasts is under way, involving researchers from Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin. It even sampled naturally occurring yeasts in the wild. There are two main groups of yeasts used to brew lager, and the researchers found that one of them shares DNA with the yeasts used to make stout. But this DNA is also shared by a yeast strain used to brew Toddy, a speciality from southern India. The research had uncovered new links between stout, ale and lager yeasts, said Prof Ursula Bond, associate professor in microbiology at Trinity. The shared links joining stout, lager and Toddy yeasts also hinted at a colonial exchange of yeast strains between India and these … Continue reading →

In this image made available by the Oregon Health and Science University, a faint white blotch in the tube at right is DNA that has been removed from a human egg, center. The red dot is from a laser used in the procedure. AP Photo/Oregon Health & Science University Britain has became the first country in the world to allow babies to be created with the DNA of three parents. The House of Lords voted Tuesday to approve the use of a groundbreaking and controversial in-vitro fertilization technique known as three-parent IVF. That followed a similar vote in the House of Commons earlier this month. The technique would likely only be used in about a dozen cases a year in the U.K. involving women with faulty mitochondria, the energy-producing structures outside a cell's nucleus. The genetic flaw can cause devastating inherited conditions in a woman's offspring including muscular dystrophy, mental retardation, and problems affecting the baby's heart and other vital organs. To prevent that, scientists remove the nucleus DNA from the mother's egg and insert it into a donor egg from which the nucleus DNA has been removed. The resulting embryo would end up with the nucleus DNA from its … Continue reading →
