“Brain fingerprinting”- The new lie detectr

...Farrell, PhD, the man who developed this new brain fingerprinting says that this technique has proved 100% accurate in more than 120 tests including tests conducted on FBI agents, U.S.Navy and U.S. intelligence units. But not everyone is over awed by this new forensic tool. Some seasoned scientists advice restrai...

New Tools To Identify Flu Strains

...for identifying the flu type is similar to genetic fingerprinting used in DNA identification. First, the influenza RNA is converted to DNA, using the same biological processes that the HIV virus uses to convert RNA to DNA to replicate itself and elude the immune system. Then, a segment of the DNA is reproduced in a...

...nce its introduction, the technique called as DNA fingerprinting has been used in solving criminal cases, settlement of paternity issues and identification of dead bodies of soldiers. Southern, in the mid 1970s, devised a now-standard lab technique that allows scientists to detect specific bits of genetic code wi...
