Evaluation of bone preparation approaches using length‐based analysis and targeted sequencing for forensic human identification of historic skeletal remains

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Advances in DNA technology have significantly enhanced the forensic community's ability to develop genetic profiles from unidentified human skeletal remains. However, sampling requires mechanical grinding of hard tissues before DNA isolation. This processing can compromise genetic profiles, particularly in aged bones.

Determining the utility of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for disaster victim identification (DVI)

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was evaluated as a method for electronically tracking human remains and associated identifying information during mass fatality incidents. Conventional tags are prone to physical damage and failure, which can compromise identification processes and hinder the repatriation of bodies.

Sharp force trauma analysis without animal bones: A proposal for sustainable and ethical bone proxies

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Sharp force trauma has been the leading cause of homicide in England and Wales for more than a decade. Experimental research on sharp force trauma frequently relies on animal bone as a substitute for human remains, yet their ethical acceptability and comparability to human bone remain contested.
