In this issue of BioTechniques, we present a sensitive and reliable colorimetric approach for C-reactive protein analysis, a cost-effective method to generate recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies ...

Pigs decompose similarly to humans and are commonly used in forensic research. We developed models to estimate the ...

"This dataset is truly one of a kind, with broad-ranging impacts from microbial ecology to forensic science." In addition to the forensic applications, Metcalf sees other opportunities to put this ...

The forensic identification of body fluids is ... Lastly, a study examined the microbial composition of saliva stains to estimate the time since deposition (TsD). By analyzing changes in microbial ...

Given that the microbial species also changed over time, they could be good indicators of time since death, a key piece of information for forensic investigators. Using their data, Metcalf’s team ...

She studies the ancestral human gut microbiome by studying microbial DNA preserved in ancient human fecal material. Jessica also studies the role of microbes in decomposition, which has led to several ...
