Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-891a exhibited exclusive specific amplification in semen samples, confirming its semen specificity [Sauer et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2016.01.018]. Another human study noted that the mir-891a showed a good body fluid-specific expression pattern for semen in their dataset [Park et al. DOI:10.1002/elps.201400075].
