DNA methylation and epigenomic profiling post‐mortem of human remain analogs (Sus scrofa) in southern Ontario, Canada

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 3, Page 1185-1194, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding the dynamics of DNA methylation (DNAm) post‐mortem could support forensic applications, particularly the estimation of the post‐mortem interval (PMI), age, and sex of remains. In this study, we investigated DNAm changes in pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) as analogs for human decomposition, while measuring the progression of decay ...

Assessing the reliability of saw mark features: A comparative study using stereomicroscopy, micro‐XCT, and 3D printing

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 3, Page 1099-1120, May 2026.
Abstract Saw mark analysis is an important component of forensic anthropology, particularly in cases of postmortem dismemberment. While stereomicroscopy remains the benchmark for evaluating kerf features, recent advances in imaging technologies offer new opportunities for documenting and interpreting bone trauma.
