Comprehensive body fluid identification and contributor assignment by combining targeted sequencing of mRNA and coding region SNPs.

Abstract excerpt

Forensic genetic analyses aim to retrieve as much information as possible from biological trace material recovered from crime scenes. While standard short tandem repeat (STR) profiling is essential to individualize biological traces, its significance is diminished in crime scenarios where the presence of a suspect's DNA is acknowledged by all parties. In such cases, forensic (m)RNA analysis can provide crucial...
