✍️ For the first time in the US, an identical twin has been convicted of a crime based on DNA analysis, using a technique that detects small genetic differences between identical twins.
👉 The case involved a 1987 sexual assault in Virginia 👉 The DNA sample found at the scene did not match any offenders in the database 👉 Parabon Nanolabs analyzed the DNA and detected small genetic differences between the identical twins 👉 Genealogist CeCe Moore traced the perpetrator's family tree, leading to the identification of the identical twins 👉 The scientists used 'ultra-deep sequencing' to look for any differences in the twins' samples 👉 The small genetic differences matched the DNA sample found at the crime scene, leading to the conviction of Russell Marubbio
