He's now been jailed
A robber who wore a black bin bag over his face whilst stealing cash from a petrol station was caught after police found traces of his DNA on a cigarette he left behind. On February 2, 2020, David Lafferty charged into a Sutton-in-Ashfield garage and demanded cash.
The bag was filled with around £400 in notes and coins, and as he ran out of the door Lafferty tripped and spilt change everywhere. He then got up and ran from the Huthwaite Road garage in the direction of Lammas Road.As he left the scene, Lafferty discarded of his make shift mask which was later recovered by Nottinghamshire Police. Officers also found cigarette butt at the petrol station close to where CCTV showed the robbery suspect as having a smoke right before the incident.
Lafferty initially denied any involvement in the robbery, but later plead guilty to the charge. He attended Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, July 14, where he was jailed for four years and six months at HMP Ranby.

CimpleG: finding simple CpG methylation signatures - Genome BiologyDNA methylation signatures are usually based on multivariate approaches that require hundreds of sites for predictions. Here, we propose a computational framework named CimpleG for the detection of small CpG methylation signatures used for cell-type classification and deconvolution. We show that CimpleG is both time efficient and performs as well as top performing methods for cell-type classification of blood cells and other somatic cells, while basing its prediction on a single DNA methylation site per cell type. Altogether, CimpleG provides a complete computational framework for the delineation of DNAm signatures and cellular deconvolution.
