Lately, there seems to be a growing interest in the forensic community for RNA analysis. Especially, body fluid identification using cell-specific RNA expression profiles is expected to present a new technique that will supplement DNA analysis in forensic casework. Several RNA markers specific to blood, saliva, semen, menstrual blood and vaginal secretions have been identified and their specificities and sensitivities have been confirmed using various forensic samples. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the present knowledge and the most recent developments in RNA analysis for the body fluid identification and discusses its possible and practical use in forensics.
Key words : RNA, Body fluid identification, mRNA, microRNA
