Abstract:Advances in forensic biology have increased the options for the collection, sampling, preservation and processing of human remains for DNA-based identification. Combined with a plethora of commercial DNA testing kits that are far more forgiving of inhibited and degraded samples, efficient DNA approaches to post-mortem samples are explored here for DNA-based identification of compromised human remains. Approaches which preserve sample and reduce analytical turnaround times whilst saving resources also have the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
