Abstract
Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assays, systems, methods and kits for the age determination of an individual from bloodstains or samples of unknown origin. The methodology is based on gene expression profiling analysis in which novel human newborn fetal specific genes are identified by detecting the presence of appropriate messenger RNA species.
