The break in the long-standing probe came to light after the Quay County Sun made an open-records request to New Mexico State Police on the 71-page investigative report it submitted to Rose in June.

Implicated in the report was Kevin Ronnie Garcia, 28, of Tucumcari. When the Quay County Sun contacted Garcia on Friday to ask him about the report, he acknowledged setting the fire as a spur-of-the-moment thing, but he said his memories of that night were fuzzy because hed been drinking.

Garcia is awaiting adjudication on felony counts of false imprisonment and possession of a stolen vehicle, along with other charges, that were filed in December and April. He has been released on his own recognizance and is wearing a GPS ankle monitor. His next court date is in September.

According to online court records, Garcia has had run-ins with the law since 2009, mostly moving violations or misdemeanors.

The blaze at Tucumcari Animal Hospital on the citys north side was reported at 3:54 a.m. May 21, 2012.

Dr. Jean Corey, the longtime veterinarian at the clinic, arrived at the scene shortly after Tucumcari firefighters.

They didnt want me to go inside, Corey recalled Saturday during an interview in the Tucumcari Animal Hospitals new home in a rented office trailer next to the burned remnants of the old building. But I went in and tried the best I could to save some of them, get some of them out that we could.

One dog Corey rescued from a kennel in the burning building died a few days later.

Corey said that when she finally accounted for all the animal deaths from the fire, the total was more than 70. All died of smoke inhalation.

She said most of the pets that died were dogs and cats, but the fire also claimed two birds, a rabbit and a tankful of fish.

Corey said she had kept several abandoned animals as her own at the clinic, but the one she was fondest of was Blue, a blue-gray cat.

He was the clinic cat, she said. He was everybodys favorite.

Blue perished in the fire.

Investigators found a trail of blood leading from a broken window at the clinic where a burglar apparently gained entry and cut himself. State Police took several samples of the blood and submitted them to the state DNA database.

State fire marshal investigator Sammy Anaya said in his report that several windows were broken to hasten the fires spread. He stated someone poured an ignitable liquid on the office furniture and trash cans and set them afire in an office area.

The State Police report said officers checked into several possible suspects. It said one name stood out Garcias. Garcia refused a State Police request to submit a DNA sample, the report said, and he never was charged in connection with the fire.

In December, Garcia was arrested in Tucumcari after being accused of receiving stolen property and unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon. Because one of the charges was a felony, he was required to submit to a DNA swab that would be forwarded to the states DNA database.

State Police said they learned in March that Garcias DNA was a match for DNA found at the animal hospital fire in 2012.

In April, Garcia was taken to the State Police office in Tucumcari for questioning, and police executed a search warrant to obtain new DNA from him.

Garcia initially denied his role with the fire and insisted someone was trying to frame him.

When told Garcias DNA and no one elses was found at the scene, he confessed to starting the fire, records show.

Honestly, what happened was I was messed up on coke and drunk and broke in, Garcia said, according to the report.

Asked why he broke into the animal clinic, he said probably just money or whatever.

Honestly, I just broke in because I wanted some money for some more bud (marijuana) and beer, Garcia said.

A suspected ISIS operative, who was arrested following a brief exchange of fire, had planned terror strikes in high footfall areas of the national capital, Delhi Police disclosed said on Saturday (August 22, 2020).

Addressing a press briefing, PS Kushwah, DCP (Special Cell), Delhi Police, said, Two pressure cooker IEDs were recovered from Mohammad Mustakeem Khan, alias Abu Yusuf, a resident of Balarampur in Uttar Pradesh.

Khan had planned a terror strike in the national capital on August 15 but could not do so due to heavy security arrangements, DCP Kushwah said.

Sharing more information, he said, The Special Cell has arrested the ISIS operative after a brief exchange of fire late night. The 36-year-old man is called Yusuf aka Abu Yusuf. He has various alias. Pressure cooker IEDs have been recovered from him. He was going to install them at heavy footfall area here.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, his movement was restricted. Around 15th August, he had an intention to make an attempt (of attack) in Delhi but due to security arrangements here he was not successful, the DCP Special Cell said.

He said Khan was in touch with ISIS handlers who instructed him to plan terror strikes in India.

Mustakeem Khan, alias Abu Yusuf, was in direct touch with his ISIS commanders. He had passports made in the name of his wife and 4 children. Earlier, he was being handled by Yusuf Alhindi who was killed in Syria. Later, Abu Huzafa, a Pakistani, was handling him. Huzafa was also later killed in a drone strike in Afghanistan, the DCP Special Cell told reporters.

The suspected ISIS operative was arrested by Delhi Police's Special Cell on Friday night from the section of the Ridge Road between Dhaula Kuan and Karol Bagh. The police recovered two Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), weighing approximately 15 kilograms in two pressure cookers, from his possession. Besides, a pistol was also recovered from him post-firing.

Khan had been under watch for the last year, the DCP told reporters. Our operation had been on for the last one year, Kushwaha said.

He was remanded to seven-day police custody. According to reports, Special Cell officers are taking him to Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh, for further investigation.

In looking for a way out of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, theImran Khan-led government in Pakistan ended up admitting that Dawood Ibrahim, India's most-wanted mobster since 1994 and prime accused in the 1993 Bombay bombings, lives in Karachi's White house. Pakistan had until now spent years denying that it shelters theD-Company chief, with a reward of $25 million over his head and wanted on charges of terrorism, murder, extortion, targeted killing, drug trafficking, and various other cases.

Pakistan's admission came in a list of severe financial sanctions that the country imposed on 88 banned terrorist outfits and their leaders, including Hafiz Saeed Ahmad of Jamaat-ud-Dawa, Mohammad Masood Azhar of the JeM, Dawood Ibrahim, and others.

The list, according to Pakistani authorities, mentions Dawood Ibrahim's address as "White House, Near Saudi Mosque, Clifton" in Karachi, Pakistan. It also lists several other properties for the mobster and drug dealer, including one"House Nu 37 - 30th Street - defence, Housing Authority, Karachi" and"Palatial bungalow in the hilly area of Noorabad in Karachi".

The Pakistan government has also ordered the seizure of all properties and freezing of all bank accounts of global terrorist Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, following new restrictions issued by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Islamabad issued two notifications on August 18 announcing sanctions on key figures of terror outfits and the seizure of all movable and immovable properties of these outfits and individuals, and freezing of their bank accounts.

These terrorists have been barred from transferring money through financial institutions, purchasing of arms and travelling abroad, Pakistani media reported, adding that the notifications ratified a complete ban on all leaders and members of defunct Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) hiding in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border areas.

Some of the individuals who have been named in the list of sanctions are -- Saeed, Azhar, Mullah Fazlullah (alias Mullah Radio), Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Muhammad Yahya Mujahid, Abdul Hakeem Murad (wanted by the Interpol), Noor Wali Mehsud, Fazal Raheem Shah of Uzbekistan Liberation Movement, Taliban leaders Jalaluddin Haqqani, Khalil Ahmad Haqqani, Yahya Haqqani, and Ibrahim and his associates.

Some of the terrorist organisations named in the list include -- the now defund TTP, the Lashkar-e-Taiba, JeM, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Tariq Geedar group of TTP, Harkatul Mujahideen, Al Rasheed Trust, Al Akhtar Trust, Tanzim Jaish-al Mohajireen Ansar, Jamaat-ul Ahrar, Tanzim Khutba Imam Bukhari, Rabita Trust Lahore, Revival of Islamic Heritage Society of Pakistan, Al-Haramain Foundation Islamabad, Harkat Jihad Al Islami, Islami Jihad Group, Uzbekistan Islami Tehreek, Daesh of Iraq, Emirates of Tanzim Qafqaz working against Russia, and Abdul Haq of Uyghurs of Islamic Freedom Movement of China.

Dawood Ibrahim has been designated as a global terrorist in 2003 by India and the United States with a reward of US $25 million on his head for his role in the 1993 Bombay bombings. In 2011, he was named number three on "The World's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives" by the FBI. His crime syndicate spreads across Asia, Europe and Africa, with over 40% of its earnings coming from India.

AUSTIN, Texas A team of interdisciplinary researchers hasdiscovered a new technique to store informationin DNA in this case The Wizard of Oz,translatedinto Esperantowith unprecedented accuracy and efficiency. The technique harnesses the information-storage capacity of intertwined strands of DNA to encode and retrieve informationin a way that is both durable and compact.

The technique is described in a paper in this weeksProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The key breakthrough is an encoding algorithm that allows accurate retrieval of the information even when the DNA strands are partially damaged during storage, said Ilya Finkelstein, an associate professor of molecular biosciences and one of the authors of the study.

Humans are creating information at exponentially higher rates than we used to, contributing to the need for a way to store more information efficiently and in a way that will last a long time. Companies such as Google and Microsoft are among those exploring using DNA to store information.

We need a way to store this data so that it is available when and where its needed in a format that will be readable, said Stephen Jones, a research scientist who collaborated on the project with Finkelstein; Bill Press, a professor jointly appointed in computer science and integrative biology; and Ph.D. alumnus John Hawkins. This idea takes advantage of what biology has been doing for billions of years: storing lots of information in a very small space that lasts a long time. DNA doesnt take up much space, it can be stored at room temperature, and it can last for hundreds of thousands of years.

DNA is about 5 million times more efficient than current storage methods. Put another way, a one milliliter droplet of DNA could store the same amount of information as twoWalmartsfull of data servers. And DNA doesnt require permanent cooling and hard disks that are prone to mechanical failures.

Theres just one problem: DNA is prone to errors. And when a genetic code has errors, its a lot different from when a computer code has errors. Errors in computer codes tend to show up as blank spots in the code. Errors in DNA sequences show up as insertions or deletions. The problem there is that when something is deleted or added in DNA, the whole sequence shifts, with no blank spots to alert anyone.

Previously, when information was stored in DNA, the piece of information that needed to be saved, such as a paragraph from a novel, would be repeated 10 to 15 times. When the information was read, the repetitions would be compared to eliminate any insertions or deletions.

We found a way to build the information more like a lattice, Jones said. Each piece of information reinforces other pieces of information. That way, it only needs to be read once.

The language the researchers developed also avoids sections of DNA that are prone to errors or that are difficult to read. The parameters of the language can also change with the type of information that is being stored. For instance, a dropped word in a novel is not as big a deal as a dropped zero in a tax return.

To demonstrate information retrieval from degraded DNA, the team subjected its Wizard of Oz code to high temperatures and extreme humidity. Even though the DNA strands were damaged by these harsh conditions, all the information was still decoded successfully.

We tried to tackle as many problems with the process as we could at the same time, said Hawkins, who recently was with UTs Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences. What we ended up with is pretty remarkable.

Bill Press is the Warren J. and Viola M. Raymer Professor in Computer Science and Integrative Biology at UT Austin and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. The research was funded by a College of Natural Sciences Catalyst Grant, the Welch Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.

Power of DNA to Store Information Gets an Upgrade - UT News - UT News | The University of Texas at Austin

This blog was written by Ashley Chin, BSc, a PhD candidate in the Division of Experimental Medicine at McGill University and Montreal Clinical Research Institute. Her research areas of interest include RNA and cell biology.

The answer lies in RNA. As we may know from the central dogma of molecular biology, RNA is best known as a messenger for DNA. Genetic information is passed on from DNA, to messenger RNA (mRNA), to protein. However, this dogma has led to an overly simplistic view. In the last few decades, scientists have dedicated themselves toward understanding the role that RNA molecules may play beyond being a simple genetic blueprint. They realize that having proper control over these microscopic regulators can translate into macroscopic health benefits in animals, including human. As such, the search for innovative RNA-based therapeutics have set sail.

An Emerging Drug for Mankind

For many years, RNAs have been deemed to be easily degraded and too cumbersome to be manipulated in the laboratory. Any scientists working with RNA would agree with this. This is because the human body is constantly releasing RNases into the environment, enzymes that are used for degrading RNA during normal cellular maintenance and for protecting us against harmful microorganisms. Although this benefit may initially seem like an advantage to you, it has in fact prevented scientists from using RNA as a potential therapeutic for many years, until some recent breakthroughs.

In recent years, RNAs are being explored as a new class of pharmaceutical target and drug, especially as vaccines for neurological disorders and infectious diseases (1-3). For example, to treat children with a crippling neurodegenerative disease called spinal muscular atrophy, building upon the initial RNA research conducted by Adrian Krainer and C. Frank Bennett, who were co-recipients of the 2019 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, one pharmaceutical company and biotech teamed up to harness the power of antisense oligonucleotide therapy, a novel technique whereby carefully modified versions of DNAs are introduced into the cells (1-3). This is achieved by injecting the modified molecules into the fluid surround the spinal cord as a way to alter mRNA splicing, an editing process that is crucial for maintaining genetic information in the cells (1, 3). Additionally, last year, in a study conducted by Feldman and colleagues, they successfully produced effective mRNA vaccines against the influenza A viruses, the mastermind behind seasonal flu every winter. The researchers specifically targeted the H10N8 and H7N9 influenza strains that surfaced in 2013 by producing vaccines that contained chemically modified, full-length forms of those virus mRNAs. The vaccines were given in the deltoid muscle surrounding the shoulder during phase 1 of the clinical trial and yielded promising immune response from healthy participants (4).

What about the pandemic that is currently taking the world by storm paralyzing our daily routines, sinking the global economy and killing countless lives? In fact, much like the mRNA vaccine mentioned above, scientists are working at unprecedented pace to explore the feasibility of using mRNA vaccines to combat SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that is causing COVID-19 (5). This is because the traditional form of vaccines we are used to, which usually works by introducing a weakened or dead form of the virus to the body, requires a lengthy manufacturing time. Take the typical seasonal flu shots, an egg-based vaccine, as a more recent example, the virus needs to be first injected into a fertilized chickens eggs, where the selected virus strains incubate and replicate. Following, the viral containing fluids need to be harvested and deactivated before the purified virus antigen can be used in a vaccine (6). With the clock ticking and infection spreading as we speak, any mean to shorten vaccine manufacturing time is lifesaving.

RNA scientists believe mRNA vaccine can be a suitable solution in a time pressed pandemic as the mRNAs can serve as instruction molecules to direct a persons immune system to make their own protein reserve to combat a viral invasion. In this sense, the recipient uses the immune cells within its own body as a manufacturing hub for antibodies, rather than relying on external manufacturing capabilities, which is expected to save time when compared to traditional way of manufacturing vaccines.

In fact, albeit a development in progress, mRNA vaccines have other key advantages over traditional vaccines or DNA-based vaccine. The first and foremost is safety. mRNA is non-infectious, so it will not be integrated into the recipients genome and it can be digested by normal cellular processes. Through various chemical modifications, the longevity of these mRNAs in the body can be controlled. Additionally, the efficiency of mRNA delivery can be increased through designing and packaging the mRNA into protective, carrier molecules, which would enhance stability and encourage rapid uptake by the cells (7). Furthermore, mRNA vaccine can not only be a rapid alternative, but it is also scalable, as it relies on in vitro transcriptions, chemical reactions that are commonly practiced in laboratories, rather than relying on external factors such as the availability of hens eggs in addition to laboratory manipulation (6, 7).

As such, a large mRNA-based biotech is evaluating mRNA-1273 as a putative candidate vaccine for the novel coronavirus (5). The concept surrounding its vaccine is to inject a portion of mRNA that codes for the spike-like protein that is located on the surface of the virus, which allows it to bind to and invade human cells. In this fashion, the synthetic mRNA can travel throughout the bodies of their recipients, stimulating their immune systems to produce beneficial antibodies against the spike protein. Thus, when someone is exposed to the virus, the antibodies will be able to stop an infection by coating spike protein on the virus surface and preventing its capacity to attach to cells. Phase 1 clinical trial consisted of 8 healthy participants and yielded a positive outlook in terms of safety and efficacy. Phase 2, involving a few hundred healthy participants, is currently underway. If all goes well, phase 3 is scheduled to commence in the coming weeks (8).

Similarly, using mRNA-based technology, a pharmaceutical giant has teamed up with another biotech to develop a coronavirus vaccine (5). The most promising vaccine candidate is named mRNA-BNT162b1. This mRNA codes for a receptor binding domain antigen that is found on SARS-CoV-2, a portion of the protein that is required for the virus to bind to human cell. These companies have started phase 1/2 of their clinical trial, which consists of 45 healthy participants. Although some minor but not serious adverse effects were observed, the vaccine generated neutralizing antibodies that are predicted to prevent the coronavirus from operating. In fact, following two administrations of the low doses tested, the concentration of these antibodies were 1.8-2.8 times when compared to recovered patients (9). Nevertheless, whether higher concentration equates to immunity against the coronavirus remains to be tested (9, 10). Phase 2b/3 of the clinical trial is expected to start in few weeks (9).

At this point, due to the inherent complexity of our biological systems and the development of an effective vaccine, only time will tell whether we can effectively fight RNA with RNA. Afterall, this novel coronavirus is an RNA virus and it would be interesting to see if we can give it a taste of its own medicine by using synthetic mRNA molecule to create protein that our own immune systems can learn to combat. This is an exciting era for RNA researchers, as the world anxiously awaits its good news.

Although we have only discussed mRNA vaccines in the context of COVID-19, around the world, there are many other types of vaccine being explored in parallel. With the urgency of this matter, we certainly do not want to put all our eggs in one basket and concurrent vaccine development using a diversity of approaches are warranted.

Perspectives

We are only beginning to understand the many roles that RNAs play in our world. With the rapid technological advances, RNA-based therapies hold great promise for improving modern medicine within the foreseeable future, but much work remains to be done before it can establish itself as an efficient, scalable and go-to clinical solution. It may potentially serve as a great alternative or replacement for gene therapy against certain diseases. This is especially true since mRNA will not integrate into the host genome, minimizing the risk of unpredictable outcome associated with gene therapy.

A genetic history of China

The history of human movements into and within China has been difficult to determine solely from archaeological investigations or genetic studies of contemporary peoples. Yang et al. sequenced DNA from 26 individuals from 9500 to 300 years ago from locations within China. Analyses of these individuals, along with previously sequenced ancient individuals and present-day genomes representing global populations, show a split between ancient humans in northern and southern China. Neolithic northern Chinese individuals are closest to modern-day East Asians, whereas ancient individuals from southern China are most closely related to modern-day Southeast Asians and show an affinity to modern-day Austronesian populations. These results indicate that there was a southward movement and admixture of peoples during the Neolithic that gave rise to modern-day populations in East Asia.

Science this issue p. 282

Human genetic history in East Asia is poorly understood. To clarify population relationships, we obtained genome-wide data from 26 ancient individuals from northern and southern East Asia spanning 9500 to 300 years ago. Genetic differentiation in this region was higher in the past than the present, which reflects a major episode of admixture involving northern East Asian ancestry spreading across southern East Asia after the Neolithic, thereby transforming the genetic ancestry of southern China. Mainland southern East Asian and Taiwan Strait island samples from the Neolithic show clear connections with modern and ancient individuals with Austronesian-related ancestry, which supports an origin in southern China for proto-Austronesians. Connections among Neolithic coastal groups from Siberia and Japan to Vietnam indicate that migration and gene flow played an important role in the prehistory of coastal Asia.

Kimberly Timoras South Korean family gets together for a video call from Vienna. Photo contributed

For Kimberly Timora, taking a 23andMe test was an opportunity to learn more about her traits and medical history, but there was one other possibility she looked forward to the most.

I was hopeful that it would connect me to someone related to me, she said.

And that it did. Within one month of taking the genealogical DNA test, Timora, who was adopted from South Korea, connected with her biological parents, brother, five sisters and numerous nieces and nephews.

Back in February, Timoras husband gifted her the testing kit for her birthday. Three weeks after submitting her sample, her results came back. Timora said she had barely glanced at the results page before her eyes locked in on one detail: she had a half sister.

Thats the kind of stuff that you hope to find when youre looking for your biological family, she said.

TIMORA said she messaged her relative through the 23andMe website. Her half sister responded and shared that she had also been adopted and raised in the U.S. Having found their biological family through her own search, she sent Timora pictures of them, including her aunts and uncle. To help piece together Timoras background, her half sister contacted their adoption agency in South Korea and asked them to cross reference their files.

When the adoption agency replied, the two learned they werent half sisters and that Timora was actually her newfound relatives biological aunt. Timora said the agency confirmed she had been the youngest of seven children. The aunts and uncle she saw in the photos were actually her siblings.

Using a contact number provided by her relative, Timora sent her family a WhatsApp message. Unsure of how soon she would hear back from someone, she said she focused on continuing with her day-to-day life as usual.

Dont keep holding your breath, she said. Keep living. When it comes it comes.

The following morning, Timora said she woke up to two missed calls from a Korean phone number. She had also received an email from her biological brother asking to connect through an instant messaging app. After an initial exchange of pictures and brief questions, the family had their first video call the next day. Timora said her biological mother, father, brother, two sisters and a niece joined in.

Were just on the phone staring at each other, waving and crying, she said.

Through high emotions and jumbled online translations, the family was still able to communicate and learn about each other. Shared blood types and a dislike for humid weather were just a couple of the things they bonded over.

It was amazing to look at my mom and dad and say I look like you, thats a mannerism of mine, said Timora, who was raised by her adoptive parents in Aspen, Colo.

Timoras biological parents gave her up for adoption because they struggled financially and felt they were unable to care for her. Her father had a difficult time finding work after losing an arm at war, and her mother became ill after giving birth to her two youngest children. Timora said her parents shared details on their difficult decision to give her up, like the sudden regret they felt after leaving her, and how they hoped a distinctive bump on her ear would help them find her one day.

LEARNING that her biological family never gave up searching has been an important part of the process for Timora.

For me, emotionally, its lifted so much weight from my heart knowing that they looked for me and they searched for me, she said.

Timora and her biological family continue to stay in touch via daily texts and occasional video calls. She said her six-year-old daughter and three-year-old son have also been present for some of the calls. Once the COVID-19 crisis is over, she plans to travel to South Korea to meet her family in person.

Had it not been for the pandemic I probably would have already booked my flight, she said.

In the meantime, Timora said she has something special to look forward to. She is also keeping herself busy.

Im trying to learn Korean, which is a super slow process.
