Forensic Context

A review of forensic miRNA profiling for body fluid identification noted that the mir-96 was found up-regulated in urine in bladder cancer [Silva et al. DOI:10.1016/J.Fsigen.2014.09.002]. A study in humans using massively parallel sequencing identified 5204 small RNAs, including miRNAs, piRNAs, snoRNAs, and snRNAs, from six forensically relevant body fluids/tissues [Liu et al. DOI:10.3390/genes13091530].
