Forensische RNA-Analyse–Möglichkeiten und Perspektiven

Abstract

RNA analysis is used to contextualize biological traces in forensic investigations by assigning biological trace material and components of mixed stains containing different body fluids to particular tissues. While RNA based forensic body fluid and organ tissue identification is already a mature and robust method that is routinely used in forensic casework, there is still active ongoing research exploring the potential of forensic RNA analysis to investigate even more contextual aspects of forensic relevance.
