  • (1992) A Crime Scene Unit responds to the dispatcher's call of a body found in a closet in the Bronx. The suspect confessed at the 44th precinct while detectives were gathering evidence at the crime scene. He had smoked ten vials of crack cocaine and killed his girlfriend in his father's apartment bedroom, then mopped up the blood, but left pieces of the mop on the floor and bloody sheets in a bucket in the bathtub. The detectives took samples of the mop, bed sheets and blood on the floor. They bagged the hands of the victim for analysis at the morgue. Bronx, NYC. DNA Fingerprinting..

  • (1992) Matt McCoy (front) and Mark Bodee extract DNA from fetal tissues and blood and semen stains at Cellmark Diagnostics in Germantown, Maryland. ). DNA consists of two sugar- phosphate backbones, arranged in a double helix, linked by nucleotide bases. There are 4 types of base; adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). Sequences of these bases make up genes, which encode an organism's genetic information. DNA Fingerprinting. MODEL RELEASED.

  • (1992) DNA fingerprinting. Lauren Galbreath, a laboratory technician making a visual check of a DNA autoradiograph (autorads). Autorads are produced by labeling the DNA fragments in an electrophoresis gel with a radioactive marker chemical. The gel is then placed on a piece of X- ray film; the radiation from the marker leaves a dark patch, representing each fragment, on the film after development. Comparison of autorads from two samples of DNA is the method by which a correlation may be made - so-called DNA fingerprinting. Tarrytown New York State, USA. MODEL RELEASED

  • (1992) At the Home Office of the Forensic Science Service in Aldermaston, England, John Bark and Linda Nelson discuss the results of a DNA profile of blood and semen samples taken from a pair of pants. The blood will be removed, and then analyzed using DNA fingerprinting techniques. This will enable the scientist to determine whether the blood belonged to the victim or the assailant. Hanging up in the foreground are various DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) autoradiograms from other DNA fingerprinting studies. DNA consists of two sugar- phosphate backbones, arranged in a double helix, linked by nucleotide bases. There are 4 types of base; adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). Sequences of these bases make up genes, which encode an organism's genetic information. The bands (black) on the autoradiogram show the sequence of bases in a sample of DNA. MODEL RELEASED

  • (1992) Mummy's DNA testing. Dr. Svante Paabo taking a sample from a 2000 year old mummy's foot for DNA analysis. DNA obtained from the foot was compared with DNA from present day Egyptians and people from surrounding countries. This is part of research into the amount of ethnic mixing within the population of the upper Nile region. The mummy is about 2000 years old. University of California at Berkeley.  DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule responsible for carrying the genetic code, which is slightly different in every individual. Familial traits can be traced by studying the differences. Taking DNA from preserved humans gives a good account of how humans spread across the world. ). MODEL RELEASED

  • (1992) The weekly march of Las Madres y las Abuelas de los Desparacidos (the mothers and grandmothers of the disappeared) in front of the Casa Rosada, the residence of the President of Argentina in Buenos Aires.  There was an estimated crowd of 700 people.  These groups demonstrated weekly for many years before the government admitted responsibility for thousands of political "disappearances" (murders). DNA fingerprinting has identified some of the victims, and a number of the families have been re-united.

  • (1992) Maria Jose Lavalle Lemos, Haydee Lemos and Maria Lemos are a family that has been reunited by DNA fingerprinting in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Maria Jose Lavalle-Lemos was born in captivity in 1977 taken by the nurse who helped deliver the baby.  Her father was killed in prison, and her mother was reportedly thrown from an airplane (from her stretcher) into the river Platte the day after the birth.  Her sister, Maria, was left on the street in a basket with her name five days after her parents were taken.  The sister was returned to the family. DNA Fingerprinting.  MODEL RELEASED
