Toenails as an alternative source material for the extraction of DNA from decomposed human remains.
The DNA identification of decomposed human remains for coronial investigations at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine routinely requires the retrieval and processing of a bone sample obtained from the deceased. Bone is a difficult sample type to work with as it requires surgical removal from the deceased, refrigerated storage, and additional processing steps prior to DNA analysis in co...
متن کاملHuman Microbiome
Humans are almost identical in their genetic pattern, but the slight differences in our DNA lead to remarkable phenotypic variation among the human population. There are a variety of microbial communities and their genes (microbiomes) in the human body that play an essential role in human health and disease. The microbes inhabiting our bodies is quite a bit more variable, with only a third of i...
متن کاملIdentification of Human Decomposed Remains Using the STR Systems: Effect on Typing Results
This report covers our starting experience on the DNA identification of the post-mortem remains recovered from the battlefields, and illustrates some effects on typing results when STR systems are used for DNA typing of decomposed human remains. This study is primarily concerned with the amplification of degraded DNA samples. Reports of identification by family studies will be presented elsewhere.
متن کاملMotility studies of human postmortem bone marrow.
AND GEORGE A. ZINK I HE PROTECTIVE effect of transplanted isologous and homologous marrow on lethally irradiated laboratory animals has been amply demonstrated1’2; evidence such as the reports of Thomas3 and Math#{233}4 give rise to the hope that the observations in animals may be extended to the human patient. Bone marrow transplantation in humans will require an adequate supply and amount of ...
متن کاملA Machine Learning Approach for Using the Postmortem Skin Microbiome to Estimate the Postmortem Interval
Research on the human microbiome, the microbiota that live in, on, and around the human person, has revolutionized our understanding of the complex interactions between microbial life and human health and disease. The microbiome may also provide a valuable tool in forensic death investigations by helping to reveal the postmortem interval (PMI) of a decedent that is discovered after an unknown a...
