MONTREAL An international team of researchers has developed tiny technology that can spot genetic mutations at the DNA level before diseases such as cancer develop.

Scientists are calling this nanotechnology a DNA clamp and say it could revolutionize screening and treatment of cancer, and other diseases with a genetic basis.

The clamp is made from DNA and its made to bind with DNA. Its as small as it can get, said Alexis Valle-Blisle, a professor in the chemistry department at the Universit de Montral, and one of the developers behind the discovery.

Researchers believe that this innovative technology could one day help speed disease diagnosis and help tailor treatment. The next step in the research is to try the clamp in clinical settings using human DNA samples.

A big challenge in cancer therapy now is understanding cancer at molecular level, Valle-Blisle said.

The mutation is affecting which protein, and that protein is responsible for what regulatory function in the cell? We might have the specific drug for that protein, but if you dont know which mutation, you cannot efficiently treat the cancer.

Thats why we need to have these rapid diagnostic tests.

Published this month in the journal ACS Nano, researchers found that the DNA clamp performed more precisely and quickly than current genetic testing for mutations, developed in the 90s and called molecular beacons.

Like a clothing peg on a laundry line, DNA is the perfect tiny material for creating scaffolds or clamps that can hold other molecules in place, Valle-Blisle said.

The DNA clamp was designed to become fluorescent if it detects mutations that signal a high risk for cancer.

Applied DNA Sciences Inc. (APDN) a provider of DNA encrypted and embedded anti-counterfeiting technology and authentication solutions has unveiled a security platform designed specifically for textiles and apparel.

Based on the company's patent-pending technology, SigNature T uses APDN's botanically derived SigNature DNA markers to mark and authenticate fibers, yarn, fabric, garments and labels at any point along the supply chain, from distributor to retailer to consumer. The company reports the technology features new binding and extraction techniques that result in cost-effective, flexible and robust anti-counterfeiting and anti-diversion protection for textiles and apparel, including military protective wear.

SigNature T DNA binds to the fiber, enabling even lower levels of DNA marking than before, and does not affect the performance or aesthetics of the fiber or fabric, APDN reports. Hundreds of millions of kilograms of fiber may be marked using a single DNA marker, and high-quality fibers including Merino wool, extra-long-staple cotton, cashmere, silk, and high-performance polyester fibers may be marked at the original manufacturing point, prior to baling. Application of the DNA doesn't require the existing production process to be changed, and it can be controlled so that each bale or batch can be marked and tracked throughout the supply chain. APDN reports its solution outperforms comparable methods for tagging textiles, and can withstand textile processing as well as multiple launderings and dry cleanings.

In addition, APDN offers optional complementary textile-based applications including fiberTyping, a proprietary technology that examines the native DNA in a fiber; and digitalDNA, a track-and-trace, cloud-based solution to provide for increased flexibility with its SigNature T platform.

"We believe that the existing climate of counterfeiting and diversion within the textile industry is about to experience a dramatic change," said APDN President and CEO James A. Hayward, Ph.D. "Manufacturers armed with SigNature T markers will gain the upper hand with a flexible, forensic, impenetrable product authentication tool, protecting textiles from fiber to hanger."

MADISON, Wis. The University of Wisconsin's DNA lab may help bring the final member of a World War II unit home.

Pfc. Lawrence Gordon, 28, from Canada, was a member of the U.S. Army's 32nd Armored Regiment when the armored car he was riding in exploded during fighting in Normandy, France on Aug. 13, 1944. The explosion also killed Pvt. James Bowman.

Staff Sgt. David Henry of Viroqua was wounded during the Normandy campaign but he made it home.

"The Army buddies meant a great deal. I think some of his best friends in the service were his best friends after the war," said Henry's grandson, Jed Henry, told WISC-TV. "They were closer than family and so Pfc. Gordon being missing to me was almost like a family member being missing."

Bowman was identified from fingerprints. Gordon was never identified and was classified as one of the more than 78,000 American servicemen and women missing in action.

After his grandfather died, Jed Henry started searching for Gordon's records. He learned that Gordon was born in Saskatchewan, Canada, and was working in Wyoming when Pearl Harbor was attacked.

Henry confirmed that Gordon had been killed in the explosion through a survivor's statements. He found where Bowman had been buried, but there was no record of what had become of Gordon.

"To find someone who has been missing for 70 years isn't easy," Henry said.

The military listed unidentified remains with an X designation. Henry started pouring through those X files. By using the death date and the location he narrowed the search.

He also knew Bowman had been buried in a cemetery in Gorron, France. Henry assumed their bodies would have been taken to the same cemetery because they died together.
