A Comprehensive Review of the Forensic Microbiome and its Application in Postmortem Interval Estimation

The estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI) remains one of the most significant challenges in forensic science. Traditional methods, while foundational, are often limited by environmental factors and a narrow effective time frame. The emergence of high-throughput sequencing technologies has opened a new frontier in forensic investigation through the study of the thanatomicrobiome the microbial […]
