Conditions

no disease/health issue investigated

Interventions

Group 1: The study will identify DNA methylation markers and highly variable DNA regions for tissue determination and trace causative assignment in a mixed trace and implement them in a model. 1) The
no complete individualizing DNA profile is generated in this process, therefore person identification considering the world population is not possible 4) Methods: a. DNA quantification: real-time PCR
