Degradation of Beta-Actin in aging blood and semen stains
Beaton, Elizabeth; Allen, Robert; Fu, Jun (Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2022-02-18)Piecing together a crime scene is one of the most significant components of any forensic investigation and estimating the age of biological stains at a scene can be crucial to the case. Several studies have demonstrated a ... -
Detection of RNA methylation patterns of forensically relevant transcripts in dried bloodstains
Lohr, Chaelynne; Fu, Jun; Allen, Robert (Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2022-02-18)RNA degradation kinetics can be used to estimate the age of a biological sample found at a crime scene. RNA sequencing of transcripts from various tissue types shows that degradation occurs faster at the 5’ end than the ... -
Study of time dependent degradation of mRNA encoding the SPRR3 and S100A9 gene markers in saliva stains
Woodson, Kayla; Fu, Jun; Allen, Robert (Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2022-02-18)When a body fluid stain is found at a crime scene, it may be beneficial to use the RNA found within to approximate the age of the stain. This is important in cases where a person of interest has been known to be in a ...
