Forensic Context

A study in human organ tissue samples identified SNORD18A as a candidate reference gene for miRNA qPCR normalization in forensic organ tissue identification, where it was among the most stable genes in pooled sample analyses and ranked 9th in the comprehensive stability ranking for individual samples [Sauer et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2014.08.005].
