DNA Extraction From Fingerprints
Myriad writes "A Canadian scientist has developed a new way of gathering DNA evidence for analysis using fingerprints. The new test can extract DNA in 15 minutes - even from a print stored for many years and in varying conditions. The patented extraction technique consistently produces ~10 nanograms of DNA. Analysis generally requires 5-10 nanograms, although it is possible with as little as 0.1 nanogram."
cool
I just know there's a moderator out there with an itchy mouse finger, wanting to moderate the parent. But I don't want anything to happen to that family... so, whatever moderation you were thinking of giving the parent, moderate this post instead. Even if that means modding this post down. Think of the children!
Slow Down Cowboy!

1984 1984 1984!
I'll let you all in on a secret. The world as it is now sucks. Jobs moving over seas, corporations buying out our rights, dictators setting up shop and relgious biggotry [re: catholics] on the rise.
The word sucks now! We don't need to become 1984 for things to get worse.
