This start-up wants to use your DNA to set you up

Posted: at 5:43 pm

Forget your profile pic. Your DNA may be your best bet for landing a date in the not-so-distant future.

The San Diego-based dating start-up called SingldOut is using genetic profiling as part of its recipe for matchmaking. And the company, which is targeting single business professionals, is getting ready to launch out of beta during the first quarter of next year in several major U.S. cities, including San Diego and Boston.

The company is betting that its biological approach to dating will help set them apart from other online dating services that limit their compatibility testing to lengthy questionnaires.

"There are an ample amount of dating sites out there, but none of them have delivered on their promise of delivering relationships that are fulfilling and that are lasting," said Jana Bayad, the company's co-founder and CEO.

"And really, 40 percent of physical attraction really is in your genes, it's in your biology, you can't help it, it's there. So that is why we decided this was a solution," Bayad said, citing a research report.

The company wouldn't share how many users were currently in beta, but secured about $600,000 last month from private investors to help fund its launch early next year.

DNA leads to arrest

Posted: at 5:43 pm

DNA and a fingerprint on a screwdriver led to two men being accused of a North Island-wide crime spree, which included a destructive raid at the Kaeo Bowling Club, police say.

On September 24, burglars tried to hack their way through the clubroom's framing and fibrolite cladding, after removing outside lights and erecting a 12-metre shade cloth in front of the building so passers-by would not see what they were doing.

They also demolished a fence to get their vehicle closer to the back door.

When that failed, they forced the door, setting off the alarm. They fled with cash from the clubroom's till.

It is understood one of the raiders left traces of DNA at the scene, possibly as he tried to force his way through the wall.

That, plus a fingerprint on a screwdriver left at another crime scene, led police to a 25-year-old Matamata man. He appeared in the Morrinsville District Court this week on 10 charges including burglary, theft and unlawfully taking a motor vehicle.

A second man, 31, from the Hastings area, was remanded in custody when he appeared earlier in the Gisborne District Court. He faces 20 charges.

Police believe the pair went on a crime spree from Kaitaia to Tolaga Bay, near Gisborne, targeting mainly sports bars and clubs over a three-week period in September and October.

Community Constable Richard Avery, of Kaeo police, said the arrests were a "fantastic result".

Reparation would be sought for the repairs needed to the Kaeo clubrooms.

Cuyahoga Co. ME's use of DNA to solve crimes

Posted: at 5:43 pm

Using DNA to identify a rapist can be a race against time, especially if the suspect turns out to be a serial offender.

And Cuyahoga Countys Medical Examiner office plays a part in catching them.

Sexual assault kits are a big part of Cleveland city, so we take a big chunk of those rape kits and do it here, said Dr.NasirButt, Director and Technical Manager for the DNA Lab.

Such was recently the case in Cuyahoga County, with the so-called Early Morning Rapist in Cleveland and Lakewood.

It fell upon the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiners office to process the DNA evidence, as does much DNA evidence in the county.

We had that outrageous rape of that walker/jogger at104thand Lake Avenue that was viciously attacked, and we all wanted that solved, said Prosecutor TimMcGinty. We went to the Medical Examiner's office and we asked for help.

Investigators gathered evidence from the victim to assemble a sexual assault kit.

We reexamined the evidence at a rush and found on nontraditional spots some of the clothing within the pockets the robber/rapist had reached into the pockets of the lady in Lakewood as he attacked her,McGintysaid.

And they found skin cells there. Enough skin cells, they hoped, to identify the attacker with DNA.

But, that that would only work if he was a repeat offender. Otherwise, his DNA would not be in the system.

Reeds Jewelers' heist in Fayetteville linked by DNA to Mississippi robbery

Posted: at 5:43 pm

By Nathan Hardin

Investigators have matched the DNA of one of the men charged with robbing a Reeds Jewelers last month in Fayetteville to a piece of skin found after a similar jewelry heist in Mississippi earlier this year, court records show.

The Mississippi State Crime Lab told Fayetteville police on Nov. 4 that DNA from 24-year-old Brandon Phillip Wilkerson matched a piece of skin found after three men smashed Rolex display cases at a jewelry store inside a mall in Tupelo on June 23, according to a search warrant affidavit filed Monday.

Wilkerson and two others - Darion Savon Thompson, 21, and Dajuan Cortez Marcellus, 25 - were taken into custody Oct. 22 after Fayetteville police detectives said the trio used sledge hammers to smash a display case filled with Rolex watches at Reeds Jewelers at Cross Creek Mall.

The three men were traveling in a Chevrolet Tahoe when lawmen stopped them in Dillon, South Carolina, and charged each with robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy stemming from the Reeds Jewelers heist.

They are in the Cumberland County jail, each with $100,000 bail.

According to affidavits, Fayetteville authorities used a GPS tracking device attached to one of the stolen Rolex watches to monitor the trio's whereabouts.

A federal affidavit filed Oct. 30 said the the three men have been charged with conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery and conspiracy to transport stolen contraband across state lines.

Marcellus, Wilkerson and Thompson have not been charged in the Tupelo robbery.

Mississippi officials said DNA taken from the Tupelo robbery was submitted to the national DNA index database, court records show. The Mississippi State Crime Lab said the submitted sample matched Wilkerson's DNA, but officials requested Fayetteville police take a second sample to confirm.

Thousands of never-before-seen human genome variations uncovered

Posted: at 5:42 pm

Thousands of never-before-seen genetic variants in the human genome have been uncovered using a new genome sequencing technology. These discoveries close many human genome mapping gaps that have long resisted sequencing.

The technique, called single-molecule, real-time DNA sequencing (SMRT), may now make it possible for researchers to identify potential genetic mutations behind many conditions whose genetic causes have long eluded scientists, said Evan Eichler, professor of genome sciences at the University of Washington, who led the team that conducted the study.

"We now have access to a whole new realm of genetic variation that was opaque to us before," Eichler said.

Eichler and his colleague report their findings Nov. 10 in the journal Nature.

To date, scientists have been able to identify the genetic causes of only about half of inherited conditions. This puzzle has been called the "missing heritability problem." One reason for this problem may be that standard genome sequencing technologies cannot map many parts of the genome precisely. These approaches map genomes by aligning hundreds of millions of small, overlapping snippets of DNA, typically about 100 bases long, and then analyzing their DNA sequences to construct a map of the genome.

This approach has successfully pinpointed millions of small variations in the human genome. These variations arise from substitution of a single nucleotide base, called a single-nucleotide polymorphisms or SNP. The standard approach also made it possible to identify very large variations, typically involving segments of DNA that are 5,000 bases long or longer. But for technical reasons, scientists had previously not been able to reliably detect variations whose lengths are in between -- those ranging from about 50 to 5,000 bases in length.

The SMRT technology used in the new study makes it possible to sequence and read DNA segments longer than 5,000 bases, far longer than standard gene sequencing technology.

This "long-read" technique, developed by Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. of Menlo Park, Calif., allowed the researchers to create a much higher resolution structural variation map of the genome than has previously been achieved. Mark Chaisson, a postdoctoral fellow in Eichler's lab and lead author on the study, developed the method that made it possible to detect structural variants at the base pair resolution using this data.

To simplify their analysis, the researchers used the genome from a hydatidiform mole, an abnormal growth caused when a sperm fertilizes an egg that lacks the DNA from the mother. The fact that mole genome contains only one copy of each gene, instead of the two copies that exist in a normal cell. simplifies the search for genetic variation.

Using the new approach in the hydatidiform genome, the researchers were able to identify and sequence 26,079 segments that were different from a standard human reference genome used in genome research. Most of these variants, about 22,000, have never been reported before, Eichler said.
