From forensic epigenetics to forensic epigenomics: broadening DNA investigative intelligence

Abstract Human genetic variation is a major resource in forensics, but does not allow all forensically relevant questions to be answered. Some questions may instead be addressable via epigenomics, as the epigenome acts as an interphase between the fixed genome and the dynamic environment. We envisio...
