STONY BROOK, NY--(Marketwire - Jan 14, 2013) - Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. ( OTCBB : APDN ), (Twitter: @APDN), a provider of DNA-based anti-counterfeiting technology and product authentication solutions, announced today that Premier Semiconductor Services, LLC (Premier), based in Tempe, Arizona, has agreed in principle to provide DNA-marking services for electronics firms wishing to comply with APDN's SigNature DNA authentication platform. The framework of the agreement allows for the platform to be available through Premier to authorized distributors, to manufacturers including members of the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), and all others who may benefit from a fast-track route to SigNature DNA marking, whereby Premier acts as subcontractor.

SigNature DNA marking is required by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for use on certain electronic parts provided to the Agency. APDN will serve as the prime contractor for SigNature DNA marking, and subcontract as necessary. In response to a DLA mandate which came into effect on November 15, 2012, electronics components in FSC Class 5962 supplied to the Agency are required to use SigNature DNA marking.

Third party marking allows for a turnkey solution to immediate SigNature DNA marking capability, where ease of logistics is the main concern. Premier is the second company to announce SigNature DNA-marking as a "third party" service under license from Applied DNA Sciences. SMT, of Sandy Hook, Connecticut, announced its third party SigNature DNA-marking services on November 30, 2012.

David Loaney, CEO and President of Premier, commented, "We feel that our company is very well positioned to add DNA-marking to our range of services. It is a natural extension because of the fact that we already provide both the verification testing required prior to the DNA marking and we have background and capabilities to perform higher volume Ink and Laser marking our relationships with some of the largest parts distributors and manufacturers will make DNA-marking a relatively hassle-free proposition. DNA marking should prove to be an effective technique in the fight against counterfeit IC's."

Premier provides one of the most comprehensive offerings of both final manufacturing and IC testing services in North America. They are a privately held entity with four locations located across the country that service a very diversified array of clients that include OCMs, OEMs, CMs, and distributors in commercial, automotive, military, aerospace, medical, and industrial market segments. Premier currently works extensively with many of the hi-rel contractors in providing their unique service offering. Several of those services that will add important value in the DNA-marking process including an extensive offering of verification (counterfeit) testing, electrical mil-std and upscreen testing, tape and reel and 3D scanning of IC's, and IC laser/ink marking. Premier has many qualifications/certifications including being ISO ISO-9001 : 2008 certified, ITAR Registered, DSCC, QML Approved, and DLA lab suitable.

Dr. James A. Hayward, President and CEO of Applied DNA Sciences, said, "We welcome Premier Semiconductor into the growing group of SigNature DNA partners working to make this technology powerful, practical and profitable for the entire electronics industry and its customers. We believe the synergies between our company and Premier are great, and we are confident they will continue to grow."

January 14, 2013 DNA collection bill signed by Obama

By FELICIA KRIEG Press-Republican The Press Republican Mon Jan 14, 2013, 02:33 AM EST

WASHINGTON, D.C. A bill that will grant states funding for the cost of DNA collection was signed into law by President Barack Obama.

New York is not one of the 25 states that currently use DNA information to identify people arrested for violent crimes. The Katie Sepich Enhanced DNA Collection Act will provide financial incentives for states to use more sophisticated law enforcement technology, according to a news release issued by the office of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

DNA testing has proven to be accurate and effective, and giving police officers, detectives and investigators access to vast resources will help put violent offenders behind bars and off the street, he said in a press release.

By spreading this technology to states across the country, we can make cities and streets safer for our families and dramatically reduce the cost of fighting crime.

The legislation is named for Katie Sepich, a young woman from New Mexico who was raped and murdered by a man who was charged for another crime just three months later, according to the press release.

The man was released by authorities who didnt have evidence of a connection. He wasnt arrested again for another three years, according to the release.

The bill was introduced by Schumer and Sens. Jeff Bingaman; former New Mexico Senator, Michael Bennet (D-CO); Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii); and Tom Udall (D-NM).

Washington, Jan 14 (ANI): A method of establishing hair and eye colour from modern forensic samples can also be used to identify details from ancient human remains, a new study has found.

The HIrisPlex DNA analysis system was able to reconstruct hair and eye colour from teeth up to 800 years old, including the Polish General Wladyslaw Sikorski (1881 to 1943) confirming his blue eyes and blond hair.

A team of researchers from Poland and the Netherlands, who recently developed the HIrisPlex system for forensic analysis, have now shown that this system is sufficiently robust to successfully work on older and more degraded samples from human remains such as teeth and bones.

The system looks at 24 DNA polymorphisms (naturally occurring variations) which can be used to predict eye and hair colour.

Dr Wojciech Branicki, from the Institute of Forensic Research and Jagielonian University, Krakow, who led this study together with Prof Manfred Kayser, from the Erasmus University Rotterdam, said, "This system can be used to solve historical controversies where colour photographs or other records are missing."

"HIrisPlex was able to confirm that General Wladyslaw Sikorski, who died in a plane crash in 1943, had the blue eyes and blond hair present in portraits painted years after his death. Some of our samples were from unknown inmates of a World War II prison. In these cases HIrisPlex helped to put physical features to the other DNA evidence," Branicki said.

For medieval samples, where DNA is even more degraded, this system was still able to predict eye and hair colour (for the most degraded DNA samples eye colour alone), identifying one mysterious woman buried in the crypt of the Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec near Krakow, sometime during the 12th-14th centuries, as having dark blond/brown hair and brown eyes.

The study is published in BioMed Central's open access journal Investigative Genetics. (ANI)

A new DNA test can restore at least part of the identity of long-dead people who left no trace of their image, scientists reported on Monday.

The technique has revealed the hair and eye colours of unknown individuals slaughtered as sub-humans by the Nazis and of a mystery woman buried alongside monks in a mediaeval crypt, they said.

"This system can be used to solve historical controversies where colour photographs or other records are missing," said Wojciech Branicki from Poland's Institute of Forensic Research in Krakow.

The system, called HIrisPlex, is a fine-tuned version of a tool presented two years ago that looks at tiny variations in the DNA code, and converts these into probabilities for hair and eye colour.

It can be used on teeth and bones, whose DNA survives better than soft tissues, and which explains the interest in using it for ancient forensics.

Reporting in the journal Investigative Genetics, the researchers first tested it on a tooth taken from the remains of General Wladyslaw Sikorski, who led Poland's government-in-exile in Britain in World War II before dying in a plane crash in 1943.

Sikorski's body was disinterred from a cemetery in Newark, England, in 1993 for reburial in pomp in Krakow, but was exhumed once more in 2008 for further examination to sound out a theory that he had been poisoned, shot or strangled.

Analysis of the genetic code from the tooth gave a 99-percent likelihood that Sikorski had blue eyes, and an 85-percent likelihood that he had blond hair.

Both tallied with contemporary descriptions of Sikorski and with paintings of him made many years after his death (no colour photographs of him are known to exist).

HIrisPlex also gave a partial fix on the identity of 12 people who had been killed in a prison in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1942 and whose names have never been known.
