Unraveling the mitochondrial phylogenetic landscape of Thailand reveals complex admixture and demographic dynamics

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The evolutionary dynamics of mitochondrial DNA within the Thai population were comprehensively explored with a specific focus on the influence of South Asian admixture. A total of 166 samples were collected through randomized sampling, ensuring a diverse

Postmortem Metabolomics Reveal Acylcarnitines as Potential Biomarkers for Fatal Oxycodone-Related Intoxication

open access: yesMetabolites, 2022
Postmortem metabolomics has recently been suggested as a potential tool for discovering new biological markers able to assist in death investigations. Interpretation of oxycodone concentrations in postmortem cases is complicated, as oxycodone tolerance ...

A response to “Likelihood ratio as weight of evidence: a closer look” by Lund and Iyer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Recently, Lund and Iyer (L&I) raised an argument regarding the use of likelihood ratios in court. In our view, their argument is based on a lack of understanding of the paradigm.

Encoding of low-quality DNA profiles as genotype probability matrices for improved profile comparisons, relatedness evaluation and database searches [PDF]

open access: yesForensic Science International: Genetics 25 (2016) 227-39, 2016
Many DNA profiles recovered from crime scene samples are of a quality that does not allow them to be searched against, nor entered into, databases. We propose a method for the comparison of profiles arising from two DNA samples, one or both of which can have multiple donors and be affected by low DNA template or degraded DNA.

Detection of 18‐methyl steroids: Case report on a forensic urine sample and corresponding dietary supplements

open access: yesDrug Testing and Analysis, Volume 14, Issue 11-12, Page 1864-1870, November-December 2022., 2022
The detection of putative 18‐methyl‐19‐norandrosterone in a forensic urine sample has triggered a follow‐up investigation. Doping substances in the possession of the suspect were examined with regard to possible precursor steroids. 18‐Methyl‐19‐nortestosterone proved to be a suitable marker for reliable detection in doping analysis.

Genetics and Forensics

open access: yes, 2015
This article provides an overview of the use of genetic science and technologies for criminal investigation and forensics. After discussing the history of the use of biological markers for criminal identification and forensics, we outline the emergence of DNA analysis as the 'gold standard' in forensic identification.

Trumping communitarianism: crime control and forensic DNA typing and databasing in Singapore [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Liberalism and communitarianism have figured prominently in discussions of how to govern forensic DNA practices (forensic DNA typing and databasing). Despite the prominence of these two political philosophies and their underlying values, no studies have ...

Electrophoretic detection of black market myostatin propeptide

open access: yesDrug Testing and Analysis, Volume 14, Issue 11-12, Page 1812-1824, November-December 2022., 2022
Of the 12 black market products investigated, only nine contained the target protein among dozens of other proteins. In the remaining ones, small growth hormone‐related peptides were found by mass spectrometry (e.g., tesamorelin). A shotgun proteomics approach revealed that all nine products contained full length GST‐tags.
