Skin Microbe Colonies Used for Human Identification
Date Published
November 4, 2019
Humans transfer trace signatures of unique colonies of microbes on our skin to objects we touch. The tiny size of that signature make it difficult for investigators to identify an individual. Research now has made that identification more likely.
