Monday, December 15, 2003In routine practice, a commercial lab that is handling thousands of DNA samples develops a DNA profile from a given sample in a month or so, said Mark Stolorow, executive director of Orchid Cellmark forensic DNA labs, in Germantown, Md., and elsewhere. For an extra fee, that can be hurried up to five days, he said. Focusing on just a single sample, such a lab could probably do the job in something under 24 hours, and a lab that has long been preparing to identify a particular person like Saddam could probably do it even faster, he said. 'I don't know what the bare minimum is,' he said." ....American military officials said last April that they had DNA from Saddam. posted by Sydney on 12/15/2003 08:11:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
