Results of DNA testing of bones retrieved from forest area in the national capital, based on the statement of Aftaab Amin Poonawala who confessed to having killed his live-in girlfriend Shraddha Walkar, may give a new turn to the case, according to Delhi Police.
As reported earlier, the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) and Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) are likely to release the DNA report to the Delhi Police soon this week.
By analyzing DNA samples from over 200 dog breeds along with nearly 50,000 pet-owner surveys, researchers at the National Institutes of Health have pinpointed many of the genes associated with the behaviors of specific dog breeds.
Further, the DNA report of Shradha Walkar is expected next week, they said, adding that specific bones recovered from the forest so far will be analysed and ascertained before the doctors examine and give a confirmation about her death.
Precisely when mammoths went extinct has fascinated paleontologists for generations, perhaps because their decline coincided with the arrival of people to North and South America.
Researchers at Uppsala University have discovered and characterised a DNA sequence found in jawed vertebrates, such as sharks and humans, but absent in jawless vertebrates, such as lampreys. This DNA is important for the shaping of the joint surfaces during embryo development.
The forest department has got the picture of the tiger in two different trap cameras installed in the area for 25 days. They also found pug marks (footprints) and faeces of the tiger in the reserve.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have developed an integrated, high-throughput system to better understand and possibly manipulate gene expression for the treatment of disorders such as sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia. The research appears today in the journal Nature
A team of Duke researchers has identified a group of human DNA sequences driving changes in brain development, digestion and immunity that seem to have evolved rapidly after our family line split from that of the chimpanzees, but before we split with the Neanderthals.
