Diurnal variation in the human skin microbiome affects accuracy of forensic microbiome matching

5 Jun 2021

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The human skin microbiome has been recently investigated as a potential forensic tool, as people leave traces of their potentially unique microbiomes on objects and surfaces with which they interact. In this metagenomic study of four people in Hong Kong, their homes, and public surfaces in their neighbourhoods, we investigated the stability and identifiability of these microbiota traces on a timescale...
