Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-513b-5p was among 545 differentially expressed miRNAs identified in blood samples from monozygotic twin pairs, where it was shared across two pairs of twins, suggesting its potential role in distinguishing genetically identical individuals for forensic identification [Xiao et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2019.05.003].
