DNA test will clear my son: headman

Posted: at 2:45 pm

MEDICAL TEAMS from four institutes yesterday joined the process to conduct DNA tests on a 22-year-old man whom many Thai social-media users alleged is a suspect in the murder of two British tourists on Koh Tao.

Warot Tuwichien yesterday showed up at the National Police Office (NPO) to allow the teams to collect his DNA samples in front of the media.

The murders of the two Britons on Koh Tao, a tourist island off Surat Thani province, in mid-September has made headlines both locally and internationally. The investigation into the murders has received huge media coverage and close attention from the public, including social-media users.

National Police Commissioner Somyot Poompanmoung yesterday said he had invited medical teams from the Police General Hospital's Institute of Forensic Medicine, Chulalongkorn Hospital, Siriraj Hospital and Ramathibodi Hospital to conduct the DNA tests on Warot so as to boost public confidence in the police handling of the case.

"The results from the DNA tests will come out within the next one or two days," he told a press conference.

Somyot lamented that misleading information on social networks had adversely affected Thai society, its image and the country's tourism industry.

Word spread on social media that Warot - son of a headman on Koh Tao - should be treated as a person of interest in the killings of the Britons, despite police ruling him out as a suspect.

Warot's father Woraphan Tuwichien is the village head of Moo 1 of Tambon Koh Tao and the owner of a bar on the island.

Police arranged for the DNA test on Warot but have made clear that the results will not be part of their official investigation report on the murder case. Somyot said the report had already reached public prosecutors and police could not add anything to it unless instructed by the prosecutors.

"Police initially did not interrogate or require Warot to undergo DNA testing because he offered proof he was not on Koh Tao at the time the crimes took place," Somyot explained.

DNA From Toilet Leads Police to Burglary Suspect

Posted: at 2:44 pm

Police in Albuquerque say a man suspected of a $250,000 heist should have flushed the evidence he left behind.

KOAT-TV reports ( http://goo.gl/V3OmEg ) investigators tied Ramon Herrera to the September burglary using DNA left on a toilet. Police say the 33-year-old relieved himself while taking $250,000 worth of jewelry from a home while the owners were on vacation, but he didn't flush.

Police say Herrera also took a Coke from the fridge, drank it and left the can along with his DNA.

Investigators say DNA from the can and toilet was matched to Herrera. He was recently arrested and booked into the Bernalillo County jail.

Herrera has pleaded not guilty to charges of residential burglary and larceny over $20,000.

It's not known if he has an attorney who could be reached for comment.

DNA tests for headman's son

SUWANNEE BANDISAK, ANAPAT DEECHUAY, MONGKHON KHOMPRAD THE NATION October 30, 2014 1:00 am

Police spokesman Prawut Thavornsiri said yesterday that once the DNA test is complete, National Police chief General Somyot Poompanmoung, British Ambas-sador Mark Kent as well as representatives from the Institute of Forensic Medicine, would hold a press conference on the case.

"The DNA test will be conducted at 10am on October 30 [today]," Prawut said.

Mid last month, two British tourists were brutally murdered on Koh Tao off Surat Thani province. The murders made headlines both locally and internationally.

Police have arrested two Myanmar workers for the crimes, citing DNA matches and their confession. However, the workers are calling for help saying they were forced into confessing to crimes they did not commit.

Speculation on social-media, meanwhile, has been pointing the finger at 22-year-old university student Warot Tuwichien. He is the son of Woraphan Tuwichien, the village head of Moo 1 of Tambon Koh Tao and the owner of a bar on the island.

"I am ready to have my son undergo the DNA test to prove his innocence. It's also for the sake of the nation," Woraphan said yesterday. Both Myanmar and British embassies have now stepped in to look into the case as it involves citizens from their countries.

Britain has also dispatched members of its police force to Thailand to work on the case.

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha said yesterday that the British team was satisfied with the investigation on the Thai side. "It's better than the team had expected," Prayut said.

In a related development, the Myanmar ambassador to Thailand escorted the parents of the two Myanmar suspects to the Lawyers' Council of Thailand yesterday, where the parents officially asked for help.

DNA profile not Anwar's: defence

Posted: at 2:44 pm

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 29 (Bernama) -- The DNA profile of a person identified as 'Male Y' found in the rectum of Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan did not belong to Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the Federal Court heard today.

Submitting before a five-man bench led by Chief Justice of Malaysia Tun Arifin Zakaria, lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo said there was no evidence at all to link 'Male Y' to Anwar.

She explained that none of the police officers who were on duty at the lock-up saw Anwar use the three items -- a toothbrush, Good Morning towel and mineral water bottle -- which were given to him by the police when he was detained overnight from July 16 to July 17 in 2008.

Sangeet said one police officer had told the court he only heard a sound as if Anwar, 67, was brushing his teeth.

"He saw Anwar use the cell toilet but he did not see the appellant (Anwar) brush the teeth," she said.

Therefore, she said it was impossible to link the DNA profile of 'Male Y' to Anwar because it could belong to anyone.

Asked by Arifin whether there was another person in the cell, Sangeet replied that Anwar was the sole occupant.

She argued that the prosecution only relied on circumstantial evidence that Anwar had used the items; however, the police officer never saw Anwar use them.

"The circumstantial evidence is usually relied upon when there is no direct evidence. But in this case, we have witnesses who did not see the appellant use the items," she said.

However, Federal Court Judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid Embong explained that in law, circumstantial evidence could be applied, not necessarily just direct evidence, but it could be both.

Genome sequencing of the jujube tree completed

Posted: at 2:44 pm

BGI Tech and Hebei Agricultural University jointly announced the complete, high quality sequencing of the Jujube genome. Jujube is the most economically important member of the Rhamnaceae family, and the Jujube genome is particularly difficult to sequence due the high level of heterozygosity and other complicating factors. It is the first time that a genome in the Rhamnaceae (Buckthorn) family has been sequenced.

This study has been recently published in Nature Communications.

Jujube is a major commercial fruit with up to 30 million acres under cultivation -- close to that of apple and citrus -- and China accounts for 99% of the 6 million tons of dried fruit produced annually. Jujube has a much higher vitamin C content than other well-known vitamin C-rich fruits such as orange and kiwi fruit, and also high levels of nucleotides, polysaccharides and other important functional components. Furthermore, the jujube tree is highly resistant to salinity and drought, and grows well in sandy, alkaline and arid areas. Therefor, decoding the genome of the jujube tree will have great implications to exploit those important traits.

The Jujube genome has the highest degree of heterozygosity (1.9%) of plants sequenced to date using next generation sequencing (NGS). In addition, the very high density of simple sequence repeats and low GC content make the Jujube genome particularly challenging for whole genome sequencing and assembly. By using a combination of BAC-to-BAC sequencing and PCR-free whole genome sequencing, the researchers were able to successfully complete the high quality de novo sequencing of 98.6% of the estimated Jujube genome, identifying 32,808 genes.

"This study has accelerated the functional genomics research of the Jujube tree, and will facilitate the genetic improvement and selective breeding of Buckthorn fruit trees," said Professor Mengjun Liu, head of the research team, for Hebei Agricultural Unviersity. "This research not only shows the expertise of the team and the power of sequencing technology, but we also expect its future applications in bring more value and benefits in healthy food production."
