Forensic Context

A review of human studies identified the miR-29b-2-5p as downregulated 6 hours post-burn in heat-shocked skin epidermal stem cells compared to controls [Siu et al. DOI:10.1111/wrr.13100]. A study in humans identified the miR-29b-2-5p as an absolute specific marker for semen, demonstrating high specificity in pairwise comparisons with other body fluids/tissues [Liu et al. DOI:10.3390/genes13091530].
