DNA blood test predicts suspects' age

Description

Forensic scientists have devised a test that examines blood samples left at crime scenes to predict the age of crime suspects to within four years. The test could help police narrow down their search for perpetrators in cases where they do not have an exact DNA match for samples found at crime scenes. Jim Drury met the lead researcher.

Perfectly Preserved Ancient Cave Lion Cub Offers Chance to Study Ice Age DNA

This ancient lion cub was frozen for tens of thousands of years until he was found in the permafrost in Russia's Yakutia. Scientists estimate that the animal reportedly died up to 50,000 years ago, well before the end of the last ice age, at just two or three months old. Now they have a unique opportunity to study the lion cub's intact DNA and organs to get insight into the lives of ancient cave lions and ice age mammals in general.
