It's WTF Wednesday at MNB! This week, we revisit an old story, molecular biologists claiming they could calculate time of death to within 10 minutes. Did this go anywhere? Does it pass the smell test? medicalnewsbulletin.com/forensics-ge... 🧪 🧬 #GeneChat #Pathsky #CSI #forensicscience #pathology
Forensics: Genetic Expressions May Accurately Determine Time Since Death | Medical News Bulletin
Researchers in Europe have developed a tool that may revolutionize the way investigators establish the time since death in forensic pathology.

People are what they appear to be. Beyond that, unless they can cite specific ACT sequences for their cell or mitochondrial DNA that somehow defy appearances, it's all in their mind. I've met so many people who look extremely European in every way and tell me they're Jewish. Well, maybe there are a few OG "Jewish ACT" sequences in there somewhere, but clearly not many! Where is the list of these ACT sequences?

🚨Apparently GeneReviews is now being told to "prove their value" by the end of the week to the US government. They need letters of support sent to the Univ. of Washington editors: editor2@uw.edu.🚨

12 years ago, the Supreme Court decided our genes can’t be patented. That landmark ruling protected access to genetic testing and medical innovation. Now, Congress is trying to undo it with the PERA act.

Help stop this. Take action: bit.ly/4dYq9d3
