Area of Science:

Forensic entomology
Bioinformatics
Genomics

Background:

Entomological evidence is crucial for determining time, location, and cause of death.
Advancements in sequencing technologies have generated extensive data on necrophagous insects.
A centralized database for necrophagous insect resources is currently lacking, hindering forensic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a comprehensive database for necrophagous insect resources.
To facilitate the integration, storage, and sharing of multi-omics data for forensic entomology.
To support researchers and criminal investigators by providing tools and case data.

Main Methods:

Development of the Home Of Forensic Entomology database with 10 core modules.
Inclusion of tools for multi-omics data analysis, including sequence alignment, protein prediction, and genomic analysis.
Integration of Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis.
Implementation of expression profiling tools such as PCA Analysis, Hcluster, and Correlation Heatmap.

Main Results:

The database provides a centralized platform for necrophagous insect data.
The 'Tools' module offers advanced bioinformatics functionalities for data analysis.
The platform serves as an interactive space for data sharing and case report dissemination.

Conclusions:

The Home Of Forensic Entomology database enhances the application of entomological evidence in judicial practice.
This resource facilitates multi-omics data analysis and provides valuable references for forensic investigations.
The database promotes the advancement of the forensic entomology discipline through data integration and sharing.
