Molecular Marker for Body Fluids: Forensic miRNA
Author(s): Chiranjeev Bisht*
When found, collected, and correctly recognised, body fluids can be a valuable tool in forensic investigation. Numerous techniques, including those based on serology, were employed over a long period of time, but it was difficult to ignore their lack of sensitivity and specificity. MiRNA profiling exploded with a great potential to be utilised to identify evidences such urine, blood, menstrual blood, saliva, semen, and vaginal secretions in order to divert attention from the issue. MiRNAs are 20 nt–25 nt short RNA structures that have characteristics that make them less susceptible to breakdown processes than mRNA. This is crucial since biological evidence may be exposed to various harmful environmental elements at a crime scene. A few particular miRNAs have recently been identified by published research, although their findings were not always repeatable by others, which may be.. View More»
