Age-prediction is an important part of forensic science. There is no available method of
individual age-prediction for general forensic biological samples at crime scenes …

DNA methylation is a promising biomarker for forensic age prediction. A challenge that has
emerged in recent studies is the fact that prediction errors become larger with increasing …

Purpose. Age can be an important clue in uncovering the identity of persons that left
biological evidence at crime scenes. With the availability of DNA methylation data, several …

Background DNA analysis for forensic investigations has a long tradition with important
developments and optimizations since its first application. Traditionally, short tandem …

High deviations resulting from prediction model, gender and population difference have
limited age estimation application of DNA methylation markers. Here we identified 2,957 …

There is a growing perception that DNA methylation may be influenced by exogenous and
endogenous parameters. Knowledge of these factors is of great relevance for the …

In recent years, a lot of age prediction models based on different CpG motives in different
cell types were published determining the biological age of a person by DNA methylation …

Background In addition to the DNA sequence, epigenetic markers have become substantial
forensic tools during the last decade. Estimating the age of an individual from human …

DNA methylation (DNAm) evaluation has been investigated in various tissues and body
fluids allowing the identification of many CpG markers with high correlations with …

The prediction of chronological age from methylation-based biomarkers represents one of
the most promising applications in the field of forensic sciences. Age-prediction models …
