Forensic Context

A study in humans using microarray screening and RT-PCR validation demonstrated that the mir-518c was selected as a candidate for saliva identification from microarray data, but subsequent RT-PCR analysis showed strong discordance and did not display the expected expression pattern [Zubakov et al. DOI:10.1007/s00414-009-0402-3].
