July 2023 in “Forensic science international. Genetics” In this study, researchers used proteomics to analyze hair samples from diverse ethnic populations, finding that hair protein profiles could potentially distinguish individuals based on ethnicity, sex, and age, offering a new method for human identification in forensic science.
This study used proteomic profiling to reveal significant individual and site-specific differences in human hair shaft proteins, which may improve the differentiation of hair based on ethnic origin and individual identity.
