Metagenomic profiling reveals lung multi-kingdom microbes as forensic markers for aquatic corpses investigation

Key Points

• Microbial communities serve as potential forensic markers for identifying aquatic corpses, aiding investigations.
• Findings indicate significant differences in microbial profiles, with multiple kingdoms represented in samples.
• Analysis involves metagenomic profiling to identify and compare microbial communities in lung samples.
• This suggests a novel approach to forensic science, with implications for criminal investigations involving submerged bodies.
