Forensic Context

A study in human cadaver myocardial samples demonstrated that the SNORA73A showed no significant difference in Cq values between hypothermia and chronic cardiac ischemia death groups, making it a suitable reference for normalization in expression analyses [Kaija et al. DOI:10.1007/S00414-019-02041-0]. In a separate human study, the SNORA73A was identified as a candidate for time-of-day prediction from bloodstains in previous whole transcriptome sequencing but was not included in the final targeted RNA sequencing panel for methodological reasons [Gosch et al. DOI:10.1016/J.Fsigen.2025.103287].
