Although DNA Day is made into the official observance through the U.S. Congress, it's the NGHRI (National Human Genome Research Institute) who appear to organise occasions and loudspeakers to enter halls and call both students and everyone who would like to discover much more about DNA. Your day remember the 50 year anniversary of James Watson and Francis Crickâs discovery (and released article) from the Double Helix, along with the completing the Genome Project which required 13 many years to complete.A Persons Genome Project was carried out April 2003 which day would be to honor that, along with the discovery from the Double Helix.
I bought a home dna test from walgreens for like $40.00. And to get the results it costed like $115.00 so with tax aroung $170.00. You have to mail in the q-tip swobs. O- yea the kit you buy will give you directions on what exactly to do.
Is this true? Mandatory DNA testing these days?
It is far too expensive to make this a mandatory process. I've never heard of this. If she demands child support, your bf can go to court and get a court ordered DNA test.
DNA and blood transfusions?
As regards DNA transfer during blood transfusions:
Whole blood transfusions (RBCs, WBCs, platelets, plasma) can result in DNA confusion. However, only white blood cells carry DNA, because red blood cells do not have nuclei, and platelets certainly don't (they aren't even cells anymore).
However, the odds of picking up only one DNA sample from a blood-transfusion recipient, and it being the wrong one, are very low. Exceptionally so. And most of the time you get a transfusion because you've been hurt badly, and so you won't be in much of a shape to go around killing people. If someone DID get a transfusion and then go kill someone, there would be a mix of DNA types in the blood samples.
As regards timeframe:
This is bunk. White blood cells don't live more than a month in all but the rarest cases.
EDIT:
The only way (and I mean the ONLY way) to get DNA confusion years after the fact is in the case of someone who received a bone marrow transplant after having their marrow completely irradiated and destroyed. Red blood cells, and some types of white blood cells, are made in the marrow (they don't reproduce on their own). And as long as you have your own marrow, you will make blood samples with your own DNA fingerprint.
If you have had a marrow transplant, then the blood cells you produce (White only, of course, because again RBCs have no DNA) will have the DNA of the marrow donor.
HOWEVER: Only neutrophils are made in the marrow. Lymphocytes are made in the spleen and thymus - and unless you had THOSE transplanted as well, you would still produce lymphocytes with your specific DNA pattern.
