• A microbial clock provides an accurate estimate of the postmortem interval in a mouse model system (2013, background): “…of blow fly larvae (Amendt et al., 2007), succession of insects (Horenstein et al., 2010), and changes in the biochemistry of corpse-associated ‘gravesoil’ (Tullis and Goff, 1987; Vass et al., 1992; Benninger et al., 2008; Carter et al., 2008; Horenstein et al., 2010), can be used to estimate PMI.”
