Forensic Context

A study in humans analyzing blood samples from monozygotic twins identified 545 differentially expressed microRNAs, with the mir-4646-5p being one of 132 miRNAs shared across two twin pairs, suggesting a role in distinguishing genetically identical individuals [Xiao et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2019.05.003].
