Scientists can find proteomes in blood, bones, and other biological materials and analyze them to find answers, such as if a victim came in contact with an otherwise undetectable venom or matching a severely degraded body fluid sample to a perpetrator.
Scientists can find proteomes in blood, bones, and other biological materials and analyze them to find answers, such as if a victim came in contact with an otherwise undetectable venom or matching a severely degraded body fluid sample to a perpetrator. One aspect of proteomes that differs from DNA is that they change over time, offering scientists valuable insights into a victim’s age or other environmental factors at the time of death that are impossible to detect through other methods.
