It’s been 55 years since Watson and Crick defined the structure of DNA. Today, DNA is defining us. Most of the 1,100 genetic tests on the market are for rare single-gene diseases, like cystic fibrosis. But now, DNA-testing companies say they can scan our genomes and tell us our potential risk for diabetes, Alzheimer’s and other common chronic conditions. Our DNA, once a mystery, is suddenly a commodity, and some two dozen businesses are competing for it in cyberspace....

The 83-minute video transfixed the jury and, as local TV stations started airing and re-airing excerpts, quickly became the hottest show in town. It also became the focal point of the trial’s central controversy: whether the government overzealously pursued the mayor because of his race and position and went too far in using Moore to set him up last January at the Vista Hotel.
