Ribosome Profiling02:24

Ribosome Profiling

3.6K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.

The Thoracic Cage: Ribs

3.7K
Ribs are curved, flattened bones forming the thoracic cavity wall with the thoracic muscles. There are 12 pairs of thoracic ribs. The posterior ends of all the ribs articulate with the T1–T12 thoracic vertebrae. In contrast,the anterior ends of most ribs attach to the sternum via their costal cartilages.
Parts of a Typical Rib
A typical rib has a head, neck, and body. The posterior end of the rib is called the head, followed by a narrow neck. The head articulates primarily with the costal...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science
  • Biomechanical Engineering
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • Stab-mark analysis is crucial in forensic investigations.
  • Deterministic models have limitations in identifying stabbing weapons.
  • Geometric characteristics of stab-marks offer potential for weapon identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a scientific and statistical basis for identifying stabbing weapons using stab-mark geometry on human ribs.
  • To develop a quantitative predictive model for stab-mark analysis.
  • To utilize Bayesian inference for probabilistic weapon identification.

Main Methods:

  • Developing a quantitative predictive model based on geometric measurements of stab-marks and their rib location.
  • Employing a general method based on Bayesian inference and probabilities.
  • Collecting and analyzing stab-mark information from human ribs.

Main Results:

  • The developed probabilistic model achieved high accuracy in identifying the murder weapon.
  • The model successfully distinguished between two macroscopically identical blades with microscopic differences.
  • Over 90% correct identification was achieved in distinguishing between similar blades.

Conclusions:

  • Geometric stab-mark analysis provides a reliable method for murder weapon identification.
  • Probabilistic models offer superior accuracy compared to deterministic approaches in forensic stab-mark analysis.
  • This research enhances the scientific basis for forensic investigations involving stabbing incidents.
