Body Fluid Identification in Samples Collected after Intimate and Social Contact: A Comparison of Two mRNA Profiling Methods and the Additional Information Gained by cSNP Genotypes.

Abstract excerpt

The ability to associate a contributor with a specific body fluid in a crime stain can aid casework investigation. The detection of body fluids combined with DNA analyses may supply essential information, but as the two tests are independent, they may not be associated. Recently, the analysis of coding region SNPs (cSNPs) within the RNA transcript has been proven to be a promising method to face this challenge....
