Forensic Context

A study in humans evaluating nucleic acid extraction kits for forensic body fluid identification from saliva noted the mir-3169 as a skin-specific marker mentioned in the literature [Singh et al. DOI:10.1007/s00414-025-03641-9]. A study in human skin samples identified the mir-3169 as a potential body fluid/tissue identification marker for skin [Liu et al. DOI:10.3390/genes13091530], while another study in human samples tested it in singleplex PCRs but did not select it for a final combined mRNA/miRNA multiplex assay for body fluid identification [Bamberg et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2022.102707].
