Brain �Fingerprints� � a Futuristic Purview
New study reveals that our brains may also have a “fingerprint” that rather changes persistently in time.

‘Patterns of fingerprint — circular, wavy, or winding are related to genes that are responsible for limb development rather than those for skin patterning.

“People may wonder why our team is working on fingerprints. We started the work purely out of curiosity. However, later it turns out fingerprint pattern is associated with genes for limb growth, which are critical for fetal development. This provides another classic example of pleiotropy when multiple phenotypes are interrelated to each other and are affected by the same genes,” says Sijia Wang, a geneticist at the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and co-senior author of the paper. The study team further intends to continue the research by exploring these patterns and their relationship with diseases and their underlying pleiotropic mechanism.

Trial Fingerprint Check Discriminates Between Those Who Have Taken or Handled Cocaine
Experimental fingerprint detection can identify traces of cocaine on human skin, even after someone has washed their hands - and the test can tell whether an individual has consumed the class A drug, or handled it.
