Post mortem DNA degradation of human tissue experimentally mummified in salt.

Post mortem DNA degradation of human tissue experimentally mummified in salt.

Mummified human tissues are of great interest in forensics and biomolecular archaeology. The aim of this study was to analyse post mortem DNA alterations in soft tissues in order to improve our knowledge of the patterns of DNA degradation that occur during salt mummification. In this study, the lowe...
