The human oral microbiome has primarily been studied in clinical settings and for medical purposes. More recently, microbial research incorporated into other areas of study. In forensics, aimed to exploit the variation composition answer forensic relevant topics, such as identification geographical provenience. Several studies have focused on use continental, national, or ethnic origin evaluations. However, it is not clear how varies between similar populations across different regions a...
Introduction Human donations are often used in forensic research as they can provide unique insights into post-mortem that cannot be obtained with animal proxies. This is especially true for microbiome research, human circumstances such drug-use or health conditions may influence the microbiome. However, it not always feasible to conduct immediately after death. Donors stored frozen taphonomy facilities, pending start of any experimental study, yet little known about how freezing affect...
Considering the growing importance of microbiome analyses in forensics for identifying individuals, this study explores transfer skin onto clothing, its persistence on fabrics over time, and transferability from environment between different garments. Furthermore, project compares three specific QIAGEN extraction kits to test their efficiency fabric samples. Additionally, aims check if these extracts contain human DNA, providing a chance obtain more information same evidence personal...
