Forensic Microbiology

Forensic microbiology, like further zones of forensic science, deals with determining the cause of death and the identification of people who have committed crimes. A vital role of forensic microbiology is to regulate the “microbial signature” of an agent recovered in a criminal case. Forensic microbiology used in conjunction with forensic anthropology can be used to help trace individuals to specific areas. Forensic anthropologists, for example, often chart the migration patterns of ethnic groups through DNA analysis. These patterns -- and the microsatellites collected from specimens -- are recorded into databases.
