A 1‐year forensic evaluation of DNA degradation and STR typing in embalmed human tissues: Muscle, brain, liver, and bone marrow

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Postmortem perfusion is a procedure which provides in‐vivo fixation of the human body and prevents organ and tissue decomposition after biological death occurs. Formaldehyde‐based embalming solutions influence nucleic acid degradation, which reduces the quality and quantity of DNA extracted and the effectiveness of short tandem repeat (STR ...
