Fingerprint chemicals may indicate time of death, age, and biological sex, study shows
Chemical signals in a common fingerprint could help estimate the time since death during the first two days and provide information about traits such as age and biological sex, according to a team of scientists from Gdańsk and Kraków. The research identifies two key molecules responsible for these signals: tryptophan and NADH.
