The Wisconsin Innocence Project team and Christopher Ochoa gather with well wishers at the Texas courthouse. Free at last! POSTED 25 JAN 2001 After 12 years in prison, a Texas inmate walked free on Jan. 17. The exoneration came courtesy of University of Wisconsin-Madison law students and professors and DNA tests proving that Christopher Ochoa, now 33, was innocent of a 1988 rape and murder. Fortunately for Ochoa, evidence from the crime was still available for DNA fingerprinting, a simple test that can prove whether a biological sample did or did not come from a suspect. The arrival of cheap and fast DNA fingerprinting is overturning the quest to convict the guilty and free the innocent. The technology is far more specific than earlier tests of antibodies in blood or semen. Terry Laber, who directed the blood laboratory at the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, says, "Before DNA, you'd have a good suspect, and do all the tests you could do, and you'd end up with 30 percent to 40 percent of the population qualifying." But when biological samples from blood, skin cells or semen are DNA fingerprinted, the specific DNA sequence is extremely unlikely to be found except in the perpetrator. A match, Laber says, is "very powerful evidence." (For a prosecutor's story of DNA fingerprinting, see "And the Blood..." in the

Improved Protocol For T-RFLP By Capillary Electrophoresis Detailed protocol for terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP), which allows the fingerprinting of a community by analyzing the polymorphism of a certain gene.

Improved Protocol for T-RFLP by Capillary Electrophoresis July 2002 Center for Microbial Ecology, Michigan State University East Lansing, Michigan, 48824 I. Overview of T-RFLP method for community studies Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) allows the fingerprinting of a community by analyzing the polymorphism of a certain gene. It is a high-throughput, reproducible method that allows the semi-quantitative analysis of the diversity of a particular gene in a community. The figure below illustrates the procedure and the rationale of the method. The DNA is harvested from the analyzed sample (1). The gene of interest is amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a fluorescently labeled primer (2). This yields a mixture of amplicons of the same or similar sizes with a fluorescent label at one end. After purification, the amplicon mixture is digested with a restriction enzyme, which generates fragments of different sizes (A-F) (3). These are separated through gel or capillary electrophoresis (4). A laser reader detects the labeled fragments and generates a profile based on fragment lengths (5). Two methods have been widely used for separation of the fragments obtained after enzymatic restriction of labeled PCR products: gel electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels and capillary electrophoresis. The former has until recently been more widespread and most of the available protocols for T-RFLP have used this method. However, capillary electrophoresis has been gaining popularity, but the standard procedures for the capillary equipment are not suitable for T-RFLP. Therefore we present a protocol for improved T-RFLP by capillary electrophoresis. The key new steps are identified below as [NEW].

64. Fingerprint Identification Standards For Emerging Applications About transitions in fingerprinting technology, from a traditional law enforcement applications to new biometric technology. http://www.dss.state.ct.us/digital/fpstand2.htm

Fingerprint Identification Standards for Emerging Applications By Gordon H. Dechman Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) technology has been proven in law enforcement over the last 25 years, and the use of AFIS technology is rapidly expanding in a number of new applications areas including welfare. However, the rush to capitalize on the benefits of the technology, in advance of appropriate standards and technology validation methods, is likely to result in a widespread failure to achieve the very valuable programmatic expectations over the long term. For serious large-scale positive-identification applications, no other currently-available biometric technology comes close to fingerprints. Fingerprint identification technologies are: well established : fingerprint identification has been used in law enforcement applications over the past 100 years, and has become the de facto international standard for positive identification of individuals. proven : AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) technology has been developed, refined and proven in demanding law enforcement applications over the last two decades.

Home Up Forensic Bugs DNA Typing [ Fingerprinting ] The Luminol Test Drugs Gunshot Residues The detection of fingerprints is probably the best known tool of the criminal investigator. In the last 100 years they have become the main method of identifying criminals. Fingerprints are produced from the sweat and oils secreted by glands in the dermis of the skin. Each fingerprint is unique. The tiny ridges of skin on a finger make a pattern that is different from any other in the world. Even identical twins do not have the same fingerprints.

Research Interests Dr Jan Schmid Molecular Microbiology of Candida albicans Molecular epidemiology of bacterial pathogens ... Publications I) Molecular Microbiology of Candida albicans The yeast C. albicans is present on most humans as a harmless commensal organism. Thousands of yeast cells can be present in an individal, mostly in the gastrointestinal tract, without any ill effect. However C. albicans is also also the major fungal pathogen of humans. Infections can be localised, such as vaginal infections and oral infections, which cause a considerable degree of discomfort. In some patient groups, whose defence system is severely compromised (prematurely born infants, leukemics and burn patients), the yeast can turn into a deadly pathogen causing systemic infections- up to 50% of the patients infected die as a result. The incidence of such infections is increasing rapidly, especially in hospitalised patients. In New Zealand, such infections are now eight times more frequent than they were 9 years ago.Our reservoir of anti- Candida drugs is very limited, and these agents can have severe side effects. Development of new strategies for the prevention and treatment of candidiasis is therefore probably the most important challenge to be faced by medical mycology today.One of the prerequisites to developing such strategies is the knowledge of how

Much in the same way that employee drug testing acts to control employee behavior, surveillance in general, affects the way people act. With mental surveillance, the question becomes how your thoughts do or don’t “behave” and how thinking is indirectly controlled under the auspices of surveillance. Presently, cognitive liberty is threatened by one important new technology that makes possible mental monitoring: Brain Fingerprinting (What is brain fingerprinting?)

If probes encounter a complementary sequence of nucleotides in a test sample of DNA, they bind to it by Watson-Crick base pairing and thus identify it. Polymorphisms are inherited differences found among the individuals in a population.

WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL DNA DATA BANK WEBSITE NDDB Brochure Download in PDF The Canadian police community had, for some time, called for the creation of a DNA data bank to assist police investigations. The government responded by assenting to the DNA Identification Act on December 10, 1998. This legislation allowed a DNA data bank to be created and amended the Criminal Code to provide a mechanism for a judge to order persons convicted of designated offences to provide blood, buccal or hair samples from which DNA profiles will be derived. The legislation became official on June 30, 2000. The use of forensic DNA analysis in solving crime is proving to be as revolutionary as the introduction of fingerprint evidence in court more than a century ago. Remarkably, Canadian police have been using forensic DNA evidence for little more than a decade, yet it has emerged as one of the most powerful tools available to law enforcement agencies for the administration of justice. DNA analysis is the next generation of human identification in the science of police investigations and is considered a major enhancement for the safety of all Canadians.

Collusion secure fingerprinting for digital data Authors: D. Boneh, and J. Shaw Abstract: The paper discusses methods for assigning codewords for the purpose of fingerprinting digital data, e.g., software, documents, music, and video. Fingerprinting consists of uniquely marking and registering each copy of the data. This marking allows a distributor to detect any unauthorized copy and trace it back to the user. This threat of detection will deter users from releasing unauthorized copies. A problem arises when users collude: for digital data, two different fingerprinted objects can be compared and the differences between them detected. Hence, a set of users can collude to detect the location of the fingerprint. They can then alter the fingerprint to mask their identities. We present a general fingerprinting solution which is secure in the context of collusion. In addition, we discuss methods for distributing fingerprinted data.
