In forensic science, the identification of body fluids present in a stain can aid in the
reconstruction of crime scenes and support activity‐level information in some cases. RNA …

Designed as an accessible introduction to basic scientific principles and their application in
professional practice, Forensic Biology provides a concise overview of the field. Focusing …

The recovery of a DNA profile from the perpetrator or victim in criminal investigations can
provide valuable 'source level'information for investigators. However, a DNA profile does not …

Abstract The European DNA Profiling Group (EDNAP) organized a fourth and fifth
collaborative exercise on RNA/DNA co-analysis for body fluid identification and STR …

In a previous study we presented an assay for targeted mRNA sequencing for the
identification of human body fluids, optimised for the Illumina MiSeq/FGx MPS platform. This …

In recent years, forensic mRNA profiling has increasingly been used to identify the origin of
human body fluids. By now, several laboratories have implemented mRNA profiling and also …

The inability to definitively determine the tissue source of origin of forensically relevant
biological fluids could result in a failure to provide crucial information necessary to the …

Abstract Knowledge about the age of a stain, also termed as time since deposition (TsD),
would provide law-enforcing authorities with valuable information for the prosecution of …

Short tandem repeat (STR) profiling is frequently carried out on biological stains in forensic
casework, and the application of messenger RNA (mRNA) body fluid identification is …

Confirmatory body fluid identification using messenger RNA (mRNA) is a well-established
technique to address issues encountered with conventional testing–such as poor sensitivity …
