DNA evidence links rape case to Redlands murder

Posted: at 8:45 am

REDLANDS, Calif. (KABC) -- A murder in Redlands in February has been tied to a 10-year-old rape case through DNA evidence. Now police have a composite sketch and hope it will lead them to the suspect.

The murder victim's family made a plea for justice in Redlands Thursday.

Holding his wife's hand, Robert Flores remembers his daughter Sylvia. The 23-year-old, who was working as a prostitute, was murdered earlier this year. Her body was found in a Redlands orange grove on February 26.

"She was a very sweet girl, very nice, very kind to people. She went the wrong way, but she loved life and she loved people," said Flores.

Until recently Redlands Police had very little to go on. But Thursday they announced that DNA found on the victim's body matches DNA found on another victim from a crime committed more than 10 years ago.

In that April 2003 case the victim got into the car of an unknown man on Baseline Street in San Bernardino; he then raped her. Now that there's a DNA match, police contacted the victim in that case to put together a composite sketch of the suspect.

At the time of the crime 10 years ago, he was driving a small car, either burnt orange or dull orange in color, possibly a two-seat hatchback, with black interior.

"What's going to need to happen is people are going to need to come forward to tell us that they might know someone who looks like this or owned a car like that, somebody that's frequented the area, something that's bragged about these things that they've done, and bring that information forward," said Redlands Police Chief Mark Garcia.

The only other possibility is that the guy gets arrested and submits a DNA sample. That would automatically alert the DNA database and give detectives the suspect's name.

Regardless, the family wants justice for Sylvia Flores.

Jurassic Park ruled out – dinosaur DNA could not survive in amber

Posted: at 8:45 am

Laura Dern and Sam Neill in Jurassic Park

The scientists found they were unable to detect any ancient DNA in the samples they examined, which were between 60 to 10,600 years old.

It suggests that in older amber samples that are millions of years old, the chances of being able to extract intact DNA is even slimmer.

Dr David Penney, an amber expert at the University of Manchester, said: "Intuitively, one might imagine that the complete and rapid engulfment in resin, resulting in almost instantaneous demise, might promote the preservation of DNA in a resin entombed insect, but this appears not to be the case. So, unfortunately, the Jurassic Park scenario must remain in the realms of fiction."

Universal Pictures announced this week that the fourth Jurassic Park film, which is to be called Jurassic World, will be released in cinemas in 2015.

Although details of the film have been sketchy, it will be directed by Colin Trevorrow and Steven Spielberg, who directed the original film and the 1997 sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park, will be the executive producer.

There have been reports that the film will return to the original setting on the Isla Nublar and will feature new dinosaurs, while it may also be filmed in 3D.

In the original movie, a short sequence explained how scientists had managed to extract dinosaur DNA from insects that had been preserved in amber, the resin from trees that hardens and then becomes fossilised.

The plot revolved around the ability to extract enough of the DNA from blood that had just been sucked by mosquitoes and other insects for it to be combined with DNA from modern amphibians and reptiles to clone dinosaurs.

The company's technology is virtually the "service standard" for the U.S. Navy, while also delivering innovative airborne products. Many of its systems are intensively dependent on precision electronics.

"We are proud to have this smart and effective company as a business partner," stated Dr. James A. Hayward, CEO and President of APDN. "APDN believes that its SigNature DNA customers, such as L-3 Power Paragon, will be greatly helped along the road to compliance with the NDAA anti-counterfeiting legislation. We are confident that this agreement marks the beginning of a long, productive partnership with L-3 Power Paragon in the efforts by DLA and our company against counterfeits."

"We are delighted that L-3 Power Paragon, as an advanced technology prime contractor, has lent its support and prestige to the DLA effort to protect our warfighters from the plague of counterfeit electronic parts," said Janice Meraglia, Vice-President of Government and Military Programs at APDN. "We are sure that its military, national security and other end users will benefit, and are confident that other primes will be encouraged to also join the effort."

"L-3 Power Paragon is known for both the excellence and importance of its power products," said Bob MacDowell, Senior Account Manager for Government and Military Programs at APDN. "We look forward to working with L-3 Power Paragon and DLA to become even more proactive in our joint efforts."

"L-3 Power Paragon is committed to going the extra mile to support our warfighters from any risk of counterfeit parts, and we look forward to working with DLA to become more proactive in this effort," said Scott Utka, Director of Materials at L-3 Power Paragon.

DNA Brands Adds Four New Distributors Covering Five States

Posted: at 8:45 am

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

DNA Brands, Inc. (OTCQB:DNAX) makers of DNA Energy Drink, the winner of the 2010 and 2012 Worlds Best Tasting Energy Drink title announced that it has already sold a significant portion of its initial July 2013 production run of 50,000 cases of new flavors in its newly designed cans. These flavors include the award winning Cellular Citrus, Cellular Citrus-Zero Sugar, Cryo Berry, Molecular Melon and Original DNA.

More than 500 Circle-K and Race Trac convenience stores located in the State of Florida alone began selling the "new" DNA products in mid-July. In addition DNA Brands entered into new distribution agreements expanding DNAs presence in five new states cumulatively servicing more than 3,000 stores. DNA has entered into agreements and shipped all five of its new flavors to Energy Beverage Sales, LLC, located in Michigan, Hooper Sales in Arkansas, Hooper Sales in Mississippi and Southern Illinois Beverage servicing Southern Illinois and Missouri.

Steve Gammo, President of Energy Beverage Sales stated, Our customers have reacted very favorably to DNAs new energy drink flavors. Usually it takes a considerable amount of time for a new brand to get traction and gain the recognition necessary to be successful. That wasnt the case with us. In fact, we quickly sold out of our first order of 5 pallets and as a result placed a second order for an entire truckload within a weeks time.

"The initial favorable consumer reaction to our new energy drink flavors is encouraging," said Eric Fowler, DNA's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. The process of setting up new distribution channels is well underway and we are confident that we are building a foundation for widespread distribution and increased revenue generation from our new lines. While no assurances can be provided, we estimate that revenue produced by these five new distributors should more than double our entire 2012 period. DNA has placed an initial order for the production of three new, ready-to-drink (RTD), energy coffee products scheduled to launch this fall. Initial reaction and distributor demand for DNAs new coffee drinks has far exceeded expectations. Fowler concluded, We also anticipate that a second production order of energy drinks will be placed in the very near term to facilitate continued growth.

BGI and START initiate collaboration to advance unique San Antonio 1000 Cancer Genome Project

Posted: at 8:45 am

Public release date: 12-Sep-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Contact: Jia Liu liujia@genomics.cn BGI Shenzhen

Cambridge, MA, San Antonio, TX and Shenzhen, China, September 12, 2013BGI Tech Solutions Co., LTD, (BGI Tech), a subsidiary of BGI, the world's largest genomics research organization, and South Texas Accelerated Research Therapeutics (START), announced today that they are collaborating on the San Antonio 1000 Cancer Genome Project, a groundbreaking cancer genome study designed to link genetic alterations that underlie different cancers to detailed clinical outcomes. Such findings could enable scientists to pursue the development of targeted, personalized cancer treatments. All data generated from SA1kCGP will be made available publicly and freely to researchers and others worldwide.

The San Antonio 1000 Cancer Genome Project (SA1kCGP) is presently conducting whole genome sequencing of cancerous and normal tissue and blood samples from patients with one of 10 cancers. Under the collaboration, BGI Tech will provide next-generation high-throughput genomic sequencing to identify mutations associated with specific cancers, as well as gathering, analyzing and archiving at BGI all genetic and clinical data generated through the tumor sequencing and clinical analyses. START, which initiated SA1kCGP, will conduct patient recruitment, tumor sample acquisition, and collection of clinical patient information.

SA1kCGP is unique relative to other major cancer genome research projects, given the project's direct linkage of genomic and clinical information, including both treatment and survival data, using START's electronic medical records and proprietary Clinical Synchrony software technology, so that the relationship of genomic alterations and clinical outcome can be realized. This cannot be done with data from other major cancer genome research projects that only collect minimal clinical information, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas, a research program conducted by the National Institutes of Health at a cost to date of more than $375 million.

"We are excited to be collaborating with START on this extremely important, fundamentally different cancer genomic research," stated Yingrui Li, Chief Executive Officer of BGI Tech. "With SA1kCGP's world-class team of physicians and researchers, the leadership of START's Dr. Tony Tolcher, and the scope and size of the project, we expect SA1kCGP to accelerate the development of new cancer diagnostics and therapies. SA1kCGP is unique as a privately funded project strategically structured to generate correlated, useful, and accessible clinical and genomic cancer data that could lead to beneficial, targeted cancer treatments," he continued.

"Teaming with BGI Tech, with its broad array of sequencing technologies, deep bioinformatics expertise, and extensive throughput capacity, will advance SA1kCGP to a whole new level," stated Dr. Anthony W. Tolcher, clinical director for START. "As a privately funded effort, SA1kCGP depends upon the shared vision and commitment of community-based donors, and the profound role BGI will play in the project further elevates the potential benefits that can be achieved for cancer patients through these generous contributions," he added.

SA1kCGP, launched in 2012, has already exceeded its initial goal of collecting samples from 1,000 patients. With a 90 percent consent rate and growing pace of enrollment, 1,200 patients have agreed to date to have their tumor tissues sampled and to allow for the transplantation of their tumors to mouse models in order to target genetic mutations for drug selection and development. SA1kCGP plans to sequence the cancer genomes of 10,000 patients at a fraction of the cost of other major cancer genome projects. The budget for SA1kCGP currently stands at $5 million, with approximately $1 million raised to date exclusively through community contributions.

SA1kCGP has assembled a world-class team of more than 200 San Antonio area cancer surgeons, pathologists, researchers and oncologists from numerous hospitals, most of which are local providers at community-based facilities where 90 percent of cancer care and where clinical studies occur. These hospitals are enrolling cancer patients into the research project, and collecting the tissue samples to be sequenced and analyzed. By working through this community network, referral bias (influence of disparate data source) will be avoided since the patient population will be typical of the representative cancer patient in the community, as opposed to patients in tertiary cancer centers. This increases the ability to generate large enough data sets for analysis through predicative algorithms that could ultimately explain underlying biological causes of cancer.

In contrast to past research, where sample preservation was formaldehyde based for 30 years, hematology and oncology researchers involved in SA1kCGP have agreed to change the paradigm for genomic oncology by using fresh tissue for this analysis. The logistics of obtaining fresh tissue is a major hurdle to large scale genomic research in oncology, a barrier that START has addressed by targeting community treatment centers, where 90 percent of cancer care occurs. These samples will also be available for further research in areas of RNA and protein analysis to complement the DNA sequencing.
