Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of forensically relevant body fluids using a panel of differentially expressed microRNAs.

TL;DR: The miRNA-based body fluid identification assays were highly specific because the miRNA expression profile for each body fluid was different from that obtained from 21 human tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiplex mRNA profiling for the identification of body fluids

TL;DR: A multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method for the definitive identification of the body fluids that are commonly encountered in forensic casework analysis, namely blood, saliva, semen, and vaginal secretions is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Messenger RNA profiling: a prototype method to supplant conventional methods for body fluid identification.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that RNA is stable in biological stains and can be recovered in sufficient quantity and quality for analysis, and constitutes the basis of a prototype RNA based assay system that may eventually supplant conventional methods for body fluid identification.
Journal ArticleDOI

mRNA profiling for body fluid identification by multiplex quantitative RT-PCR.

TL;DR: The development of sensitive and robust multiplex quantitative reverse transcriptase‐PCR assays for the identification of blood, saliva, semen, and menstrual blood is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward Male Individualization with Rapidly Mutating Y‐Chromosomal Short Tandem Repeats

Kaye N. Ballantyne, +127 more

TL;DR: The value of RM Y‐STRs in identifying and separating unrelated and related males and providing a reference database is demonstrated and the value of Y‐ STRs relative to Yfiler is demonstrated.
