A quantitative method to assess DNA extraction efficiency

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Obtaining an accepted minimum amount of extracted and purified DNA is critical for generating complete forensic short tandem repeat (STR) profiles. Certain sample types encountered in forensic laboratories may pose challenges in obtaining the desired target amount of extracted DNA, which can be compounded when an extraction yields low recovery,

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

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
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 ...
