STORY HIGHLIGHTS

London (CNN) -- New DNA tests reveal Britain's long-lost King Richard III was blue-eyed and likely blond-haired, but they also raise intriguing questions over whether he -- and other monarchs before and since -- should have been on the throne at all.

Experts researching the case of the "King in the car park" -- a set of remains dug up from beneath a parking lot in the central English city of Leicester in 2012 -- now say they are 99.999% positive that the bones are those of Richard III, who died at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.

Genetic specialist Turi King, from the University of Leicester, said analysis of various genetic markers offered tantalizing clues to Richard III's appearance -- suggesting that he was not the dark-haired, steely-eyed monarch portrayed in well-known historical images.

"[There are] genes that we know are involved in coding for hair and eye color ... The genetic evidence shows he had a 96% probability of having blue eyes, and a 77% probability of having blond hair, though this can darken with age."

Tests suggest Richard III had blue eyes and -- at least as a child -- blond hair; this portrait is likely to be most accurate.

Richard III's DNA surprise

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- A California state appellate court has defied the U.S. Supreme Court with a ruling tossing out a law requiring DNA collection from everyone arrested for a felony.

"The California DNA Act intrudes too quickly and too deeply into the privacy interests of arrestees," presiding justice J. Anthony Kline wrote for the three-judge panel of the First Appellate District Court of Appeal in San Francisco.

The decision cited 2012 state statistics that 62 percent of those arrested for felonies who were not ultimately convictedalmost 20 percent of the total number of felony busts were never even charged with a crime.

The decision contravenes a Supreme Court decision last year ruling that a similar Maryland DNA law was a valid form of police identification of suspects, like fingerprinting.

The California panel cited the state constitution which declares "privacy" to be an "inalienable right" under a 1972 state law, the Privacy Initiative.

The court noted: "The collection and indefinite storage of DNA samples is the epitome of the kind of stockpiling of personal and private information the Privacy Initiative meant to protect from unnecessary governmental intrusion."

The California case, People v. Buza, involved a San Francisco man who was convicted of arson and other charged, including refusal to provide a DNA sample. The ruling only concerns the DNA charge, for which he was sentenced to six months in jail.

The decision is likely to be appealed to the California Supreme Court.

California nixes DNA database for suspects

In 2004, two young women were abducted at gunpoint while walking home near Boston at night. The crimes happened eight days apart, but the pattern was the same: The women were shoved into a car by two men, pistol-whipped, driven to a different location, and raped. While collecting her clothes, the second victim managed to grab the condom one of the men had worn; she hid it in her pocket, and turned it in as evidence.

One of the two men involved pleaded guilty to the attacks in 2012. The other remained at large. Police had a suspect, but they couldnt pin the crime on him due to a twist of genetic fate: He had an identical twin brother, and DNA from the condom matched both siblings. But now, a decade after the assaults, scientists have developed a genetic test that can distinguish between identical twins, and it may be used in court for the first time in this case.

The second suspect is 33-year-old Dwayne McNair. In September, McNair was arraigned on eight counts of aggravated rape and two counts of armed robbery, stemming from the two sexual assaults.

Traditional forensic methods cant differentiate between DNA belonging to identical twins

Hes been a suspect in the crimes since 2007. According to court documents, a standard genetic test linked him to semen collected from the second attack back in 2008. That would ordinarily be enough to justify charges, but Dwayne wasnt the only person whose DNA matched that semen. His twin, Dwight, was also a match. Traditional forensic methods cant differentiate between DNA belonging to identical twins, and without a clear way to establish whether Dwayne or Dwight had left the semen at the scene, police had no probable cause to make an arrest in 2008.

But in 2012, the other man involved in the assaults told investigatorsthat Dwayne had been his partner in the crimes. And earlier this year, prosecutors learned of a new forensic genetics test claiming to differentiate between biological samples belonging to identical twins. According to the Suffolk County District Attorney the test points to Dwayne, not Dwight, as the perpetrator of the 2004 assaults.

Normally, forensic tests work by extracting and amplifying regions of DNA collected from a crime scene. Then, investigators look for a match between the evidence and a suspects genetic sequence. Ordinarily, this kind of testing is sufficient: Most humans vary from one another enough for investigators to easily identify whether a suspect left blood, skin, hair, semen, or something else at a crime scene.

This is not true with identical twins. Grown from the same, single fertilized egg, monozygotic twins have nearly identical genomes. So, for decades, twins committing crimes had a relatively easy way to establish doubtbased on DNA evidence alone, their identical sibling would be equally as likely to have deposited whatever genetic material might have been left at a crime scene.

Maybe not anymore.

Using whats known as ultra-deep, next-generation sequencing, a team in Germany has developed a test that claims to reliably identify which twin a biological sample belongs to. The test works by taking a close look at thegenetic letters (called base pairs) comprisingthe 3 billion-base-pair human genome. Because mutations randomly occur during development, even genetically identical twins will vary at a handful of locations, says Burkhard Rolf, a forensic scientist at Eurofins Scientific, the company that developed the test.

DNA Test That Distinguishes Identical Twins May Be Used in Court for First Time

The 1962 Nobel Prize Medal in Medicine or Physiology that James Watson won has been sold at auction. Christie's hide caption

The 1962 Nobel Prize Medal in Medicine or Physiology that James Watson won has been sold at auction.

The Nobel Prize medal that James Watson won for helping explain how DNA is structured has a new owner, as the 1962 gold medal was bought for more than $4.75 million at auction Thursday. Watson has said he'll donate much of the money to educational institutions.

The identity of the winning bidder, who participated by phone, has not been revealed.

The first-ever sale of a Nobel prize by a living recipient follows a new period of controversy for Watson, 86, who's been accused of both racism and sexism, dating back to the exclusion of scientist Rosalind Franklin from the acclaim his research team garnered for discovering that DNA's structure is a double helix. (An NPR interview with Watson touched on that story.)

The criticism was most severe, however, in 2007, when Watson said the intelligence of some races, such as people of African descent, was limited. The comments brought wide criticism, and Watson later apologized.

Against that backdrop, many observers see Watson's sale of the Nobel as either "a quest for redemption" (The New York Times) or "sticking his tongue out at the scientific establishment." (Slate)

We'll note that both of the Nobel medals that Watson and famous partner, Francis Crick, were awarded have now been sold. The family of Crick, who died in 2004, auctioned his medal last year, for $2.27 million.

If you're wondering what the medals are made of, Christie's explains:

"Prior to 1980 the Nobel Prize medal was made from 23 carat gold, but since then Nobel Prize medals are made of 18 carat green gold plated with 24 carat gold. The diameter of the Nobel Prize medal is 66 mm but the weight and thickness varies with the price of gold. The average Nobel Prize medal is 175 g with a thickness ranging from 2.4-5.2 mm."
