| | DNA Forensics |
 | | The first case in which a murderer was convicted on DNA evidence obtained from a plant was described in the PBS TV series, "Scientific American Frontiers." A young woman was murdered in Phoenix, Arizona, and a pager found at the scene of the crime led the police to a prime suspect. | | | He admitted picking up the victim, but claimed she had robbed him of his wallet and pager. | | | Numerous people (known as "the Disappeared") were kidnapped and murdered in Argentina in the 1970s. |

| | Recent high profile court cases have put the spotlight on DNA forensics and created the impression that there is a lack of agreement among the experts on the reliability of this evidence. | | | In some cases, the DNA tests have helped convict suspects, while in others the tests have exonerated suspects or overturned previous convictions. | | | DNA, which consists of a polysugar- phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine). |

| | Surprisingly and counter-intuitively it turns out that the autocorrelation function measured just after the removal of the DNA from the scattering chamber looks distinctly different from the one obtained before the DNA was placed in the chamber. | | | When the DNA is removed from the scattering chamber, one anticipates that the autocorrelation function will be the same as before the DNA was placed in the scattering chamber. | | | This model is suggested as the basis for a more general nonlinear quantum theory which may explain many of the observed subtle energy phenomena and eventually could provide a physical theory of consciousness. |
