National Institute of Justice Adds Webpage on Microbial Forensics

At http://nij.gov/topics/forensics/evidence/pages/microbiome.aspx, you can learn about how NIJ has expanded its funding of research into the forensic applications of microbiomes over the past five years. In a forensic science research and development context, the portfolio focuses on the necrobiome (the community of organisms found on or around decomposing remains), the microbiome (found in different soils) and the trace human microbiome (microbes on our skin and the surfaces and objects with which we interact).
