e you tomorrowON APRIL24th police in California announced the arrest of Joph DeAngelo. Mr DeAngelo stands accud of eight counts of murder.On April27th some intriguing details emerged of what had prompted the arrest.The starting-point was genetic material recovered from the crime scenes.Though this directly matched no DNA held in a police databa,analysis of it led investigators all the way back to the1800s. to Mr DeAngelo's great-great-great grandparents.The trail they followed allegedly links Mr DeAngelo to crimes committed around Sacramento in the1970s and1980s by an unknown man who acquired the
nickname of the Golden State Killer,and who murdered at least12people and raped more than50.
加州警方4月24日宣布逮捕约瑟夫迪安吉多(Joph DeAngelo),他被指控犯有八项谋杀罪。4月27日,导致嫌犯归案的一些耐人寻味的地节曝光。一切始于从犯罪现场采集到的遗传物质.尽管在警方数
据库里找不到与其直接匹配的DNA数据,但调查人员分析这些物质后一直追溯到了迪安吉多在19世纪的先祖。他们跟踪的线索显示,迪安吉多涉嫌与20世纪七八十年代在萨克拉门托附近发生的多宗凶案有关。当时,一名身份不明的男子杀害了至少12人,强奸超过50人,被冠以"金州杀手”的绰号。

That a link to distant ancestors could lead to an arrest is testament to the power of modern genomics.Investigators first uploaded Mr DeAngelo's genetic profile to a website called GEDmatch.This allows anyone to u his or her own genetic profile to arch for family connections.GEDmatch's databa turned out
to hold profiles r returned as weak matches,which looked as if they had come from distant cousins of the Golden State Killer.GEDmatch encourages uploaders to include their real name with their genomes,and the investigators were able to trace back through the matches'parents and grandparents to find their most recent common ancestor.Then;having moved backward in time,they moved forward again,looking for as many as possible of this ancestor's descendants. Using newspaper clippings,census records and genealogy websites,they discovered some25family trees stretching down from the common ancestor. On its own f the tree on which Mr DeAngelo appears has1f000members.
通过与先粗的遗传联系缉拿嫌犯,这iiE明了现代基因蛆学的强大力量。调查人员先是把迪安吉多的基因档案上传到GEDmatch网站上,该网站能让任何人使用自己的基因档案搜寻亲缘联系。他们发现该
数据庠中有基因档案与凶案现场的基因呈弱匹配,貌似是金州杀手的远房亲戚。因为GEDmatch鼓励人们实名上传自己的基因组信息,调查人员得以通过这些匹配者的父母和祖父母找到他们最近的共同祖先。经过这番向上追溯后,他们又往下查探,尽可能寻找这位祖先的所有后代。利用剪报、人口普查记录和家谱网站,他们发现了该共同祖先传续下来的约25支家族。单是迪安吉多所在的支系就有一千人。

After that,old-fashioned sleuthing took over.From the thousands of descendants,the detectives found two who had had connections with Sacramento at the time the Golden State Killings were taking place.One was eliminated from the investigation by further DNA tests of a family member.The other,Mr DeAngelo,was arrested after police had tested the DNA on an item he had discarded.
接看就是传统的侦查工作了.在这成千上万的后商中,警方探员发现有两人在金州杀人案发生时与萨克拉门托有关联。在对某一家族成员做进一步的DNA检测后,其中一人被排除。剩下一人也就是迪安吉多在警方检测其丢弃物品上的DNA后被捕.

Serial privacy
If a rial killer really has been caught using the methods,everyone will rightly applaud.But the power of forensic genomics that this ca displays pos concerns for tho going about their lawful business,too.It bears on the question of genetic privacy—namely,how much right people have to keep their genes to themlves—by showing that no man or woman is a genetic island.Information about one individual can reveal information about others—and not just who is related to whom.
连环隐私
如果通过这些方法真的抓到了一名连环杀手,人们自然会拍手称快。但法医基因组学在此案中显现的威力也引发了合法使用方面的担忧。这涉及到基因隐私的问题,即人们享有多少保密自己基因信息的权利。而这一案例显示,在基因世界里没有人是孤岛。一个人的信息可以揭示其他人的信息,而且不仅是谁跟谁有亲缘关系那么简单。
