The skin microbiome is considered a \"microbial fingerprint\" due to its highly personalized characteristics and can be used for forensic individual identification. This narrative review systematically combs through the literature on skin microbiome and forensic applications, focusing on the characteristics, current applications, challenges, and future prospects of the skin microbiome in the field of forensic individual identification. It first explores host specificity, temporal stability, and marker characteristics. Then, by linking individuals with objects, individuals, and the environment, it analyzes the applications in forensic scenarios. It also introduces two commonly used main analytical techniques and their respective advantages and disadvantages. With the development of technology, machine learning has gradually been applied to forensic work. However, there are still four major challenges in practical application, namely ethical, technical, database and biological challenges. In this context, we provide a standardized process through a hypothetical case and propose a multi-omics collaborative analysis framework for the first time, combining metagenomics, metabolomics, and non-omics data (such as geographical information, image records) to illustrate its enhanced effects in scenarios such as sexual assault and disaster victim identification.

The differentiation between suicide, homicide, and accidental incidents can be complex, particularly in the absence of clear injuries linked to third-party involvement. Autopsy characteristics of wounds are pivotal in determining the manner of death. A review of the Institute of Legal Medicine of the University of Rome Tor Vergata's database identified 64 deaths due to rifled weapon discharge wounds, excluding accidental deaths. We recorded demographic, circumstantial, and autopsy data for homicides and suicides, with a focus on bullet intrasomatic wound paths analysis. Differences in frequencies of circumstantial data were observed, notably in the locations where victims' bodies were discovered. Autopsy findings revealed distinct anatomical wound distribution. Bullet wound paths across three anatomical planes indicated patterns associated with the manner of death. Leftward, upward, and backward pathways were unique to suicides, while frontward and rightward pathways strongly indicated homicide. Therefore, comprehensive data integration is essential for accurate forensic diagnosis, and projectile directionality alone should not be considered a definitive criterion to distinguish between suicide and homicide, as similar wound paths may arise in both contexts depending on the circumstances.</p>","PeriodicalId":18484,"journal":{"name":"Medicine, Science and the Law","volume":" ","pages":"98-106"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144302448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
