Forensic analysis identifies age-associated methylation in biological samples using novel sequencing technology, suggesting improved accuracy for degraded DNA.
Accurate age inference from biological material is an essential component of forensic investigations.DNA methylation is a particularly informative biomarker, yet most current forensic approaches rely on bisulphite conversion, which can degrade DNA and limit applicability to compromised samples.Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) enables direct
