Forensic Context

A study in humans delineated age-associated mRNA expression patterns in peripheral blood and established a robust age prediction model using 34 mRNA markers, including the SFXN2 which overlapped with genes previously reported in other studies [Liao et al. DOI:10.1016/J.Fsigen.2025.103373].
