...or how not to get caught, Period 2, 20 Aug '08
Today's classroom was lined with lab benches, complete with stools and high-tech equipment.
"For this last workshop, we're going to be talking DNA," said Mohinder, standing, sleeves rolled up, at the front of the lab. "Our complete genetic blueprint can be found from a discarded cigarette or a torn out hair; blood, skin, saliva - everyone in this classroom will have left a trail between here and wherever they woke."
"As a species humans have remarkably similar DNA profiles, with only specific areas varying between individuals. From that there's the possibility of identifying biological traits from a person's genetics," he continued, explaining the mechanisms behind genetic testing, veering off into bioinformatics before dragging himself back on topic with a cough.
"But today isn't the time to go into that detail," he said, picking up a swab. "You all have these." Mohinder brushed the inside of his mouth, collecting a sample. "And these instructions to try your hand at finding your own profiles."
"Good luck," Mohinder sat down, saying, "And it's been a pleasure teaching you."
