Forensic Context

A review of RNA markers for forensic body fluid/tissue identification in human samples notes that the mir-890 is mentioned as a specific marker for semen (SE) [Liu et al. DOI:10.1007/s00414-025-03656-2]. A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-890 was investigated as a potential semen-specific marker in a multiplex assay for capillary electrophoresis [Bamberg et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2024.103129].
