Dowdell DNA Exonerations Forensics Period 9 1. After more than three decades in prison‚ a man in Florida was set free Thursday after a DNA test showed he did not kidnap and rape a 9-year-old-boy in 1974. James Bain‚ 54 was 19 when he was convicted on charges of kidnapping‚ burglary and strong-arm rape. Now he will be allowed to go home for the first time in 35 years. James Bain was convicted due to the victim picking him out of five photos. Bain kept pursuing DNA tests but was

For over a decade‚ there has been a controversial issue dealing with building a national DNA database. This issue has been brought up over the discussion of the actual database and what kinds of effects will come out of it‚ if it actually happens to go through. Some people think the database will be a force in crime fighting. Others think it is a violation of civil liberties. In the early 1900s‚ “fingerprinting‚” a new crime-fighting database‚ was developed. With the exception of identical

one thing that unites us all‚ DNA. DNA‚ standing for Deoxyribonucleic Acid‚ is commonly compared to a blueprint. This blueprint orders a highly specific set of corresponding bases‚ which in turn codes for an amino acid. However‚ this specificity comes at a very high risk; a single error in a base could code for a completely different amino acid‚ causing a mutation that could devastate the organism. Recently‚ scientists have discovered a new method to edit and repair DNA that could hopefully complement

Tylia Banks Part 1. WHAT IS BIOTECHNOLOGY Biotechnology is the exploitation of biological processes for industrial and other purposes‚ especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics‚ hormones‚ etc. The topic on the website I found most in was Forensics and biotechnology. Forensics is the application of science in a legal setting. An example of modern forensics evidence is the use of DNA fingerprints. Sources of DNA include blood‚ hair‚ semen‚ saliva

have made the use of DNA in forensic science possible. In the past twenty years specifically‚ there have been many extraordinary discoveries in the fields of science that have led to the advancement of procedures in forensics. Before DNA testing‚ the most accurate way of identifying people was to match the blood types of suspects with blood found at the scene of the crime. Considering the lack of variability of this procedure‚ it is no surprise just how important the use of DNA in forensics has become

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic information used in the development and function of all known living organisms and some viruses. It is a major macromolecule that is essential for all known forms of life. Knowing this‚ several groups of scientists raced to find out how this essential molecule was structured. In an attempt to answer this question‚ James Watson and Francis Crick got together at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge‚ England to experiment and record
