Bone marrow donors risk DNA identity mix-up:

"IT SOUNDS like an open-and-shut case: a clear DNA match is made between semen from a serious sexual assault and a blood sample from a known criminal. Yet in a recent case from Alaska, the criminal in question was in jail when the assault took place.

It was only after careful detective work that the mystery was solved: the jailed man had received bone marrow from the suspect many years earlier."
