DNA evidence recently established Richard III as brother of Anne of York. Both were great-great-grandchildren of King Edward III. But the data also show that the Y chromosome passed to Richard III from Edward was not the same Y chromosome that males on the Lancaster/Tudor side of the family inherited from Edward. Illegitimacy is inferred.

Geneticists don't often dig into 530-year-old graves, which makes the DNA obtained from Richard III's bones a unique treasure. With much of it sequenced, the paternity issues described above may soon be resolved. But does this constitute an ethical violation, a breach of royal family privacy?

Will these high-profile paternity cases be tested? Most likely. They will require finding additional direct descendants of Edward. Alternatively, more graves could be exhumed. Newly obtained DNA would then be compared with Richard III's and with DNA already obtained from male-lineage descendants of John of Gaunt.

Is bringing to light ancient and otherwise lost-forever personal or family secrets ethical? Societies often take decades to figure out how new and transformative technologies should be used, and ethical mistakes are made. Perhaps mistakes are being made today in identifying ethical DNA technologies versus those that aren't.

Letter: DNA sleuthing

A single count of first-degree murder has been filed in the 22-year-old death of an infant girl dubbed Baby April in Moline.

Her killer's identity, however, remains a mystery.

Rock Island County States Attorney John McGehee announced Monday that the charge has been filed against the DNA profile of an unknown female. The DNA was found at the crime scene.

On April 11, 1992, a man walking his dog at 17th Street and the Mississippi River found a trash bag with what he believed to be fish remains left by a fisherman.

Inside the bag was a full-term baby girl who police believe had been born in the 24-hour period before the body was found. The girl is buried at Riverside Cemetery in Moline.

McGehee told reporters Monday this is the first time a charge has been filed against a DNA profile in Rock Island County. McGehee said similar filings have been made by prosecutors across Illinois.

Although a suspect has not yet been identified, he said a DNA profile is specific enough to file a criminal charge under Illinois law.

DNA, McGehee said, is the fingerprints of the 21st century.

I think were going to see more of this as time moves forward in terms of crime scene analysis, he added.

McGehee said the charge also is meant to let the community know the case still is being investigated.
