Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the expression profiles of the piR-hsa-6145 provided valuable information for discriminating forensically relevant biological fluids, with a panel of 37 candidates achieving a classification error rate of 0.04 in a PLS-DA model [Wang et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2019.07.015]. A study in humans demonstrated that the piR-hsa-6145 is a potential biomarker for body fluid identification, showing significantly higher expression in semen and vaginal secretions compared to saliva, venous blood, and menstrual blood [Wang et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2019.01.002].
