澳大利亚研究人员发现,性攻击法证可能使用伴侣之间的“性”微生物转移。 Australian researchers find sexual assault forensics may use "sexome" microbiome transfer between partners.

澳大利亚Murdoch大学的研究人员发现,性伴侣之间在性生活期间转移的独特生殖器微生物,即“性ome”,可用于法医调查,特别是在缺乏传统DNA证据的性侵犯案件中。 Researchers at Murdoch University in Australia have discovered that the unique genital microbiome, or "sexome," transferred between partners during sex could be used in forensic investigations, especially in sexual assault cases where traditional DNA evidence is missing. 涉及12对异性恋夫妇的研究发现,即使使用避孕套,也可以在五天后转让和检测出不同的微生物特征,这有可能帮助查明犯罪人。 The study, involving 12 heterosexual couples, found that even with condom use, distinct microbial signatures can be transferred and detected up to five days later, potentially aiding in identifying perpetrators. 虽然很有希望,但这一技术仍在研究之中,尚未准备好供审判室使用。 While promising, the technique is still under research and not yet ready for courtroom use.
