Researchers match bullets to wounds using organ-specific protein signatures found on projectiles

Tübingen researchers have developed a method which enables them to more accurately reconstruct crimes involving sharp blades or firearms. An interdisciplinary team from the Center for Bioinformatics Tübingen (ZBIT), Forensic Medicine, the Center for Quantitative Biology (QBiC) and bioanalysts from the Research Center for Ophthalmology (FIA) used traces of organic material found on bullets or other weapons used in crimes. Their findings are published in the latest edition of Journal of Proteome Research.
