Forensic Implications of the Gut Microbiome Shaped by Environmental Toxicants
Journal of Forensic Science and MedicineEnvironmental toxicants pervade air, water, soil, and food, complicating causal attribution in pollution-related deaths and intoxications. This review outlines two complementary evidentiary domains: The relatively stable ante-mortem gut microbiome, which

Patterns of Skeletal DNA Preservation and the Influence of Post-mortem Microbial Communities [PDF]
, 2019 DNA analysis plays an important role in forensic identification, particularly when remains are heavily decomposed. In such instances, extracting DNA from skeletal/dental remains may be necessary to obtain an identification, yet there is no consensus ...

Frozen: Thawing and Its Effect on the Postmortem Microbiome in Two Pediatric Cases, [PDF]
, 2017 Previous postmortem microbiome studies have focused on characterizing taxa turnover during an undisturbed decomposition process. How coexisting conditions (e.g., frozen, buried, burned) affect the human microbiome at the time of discovery is less well ...
