Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ruxin Zhu"
- Ruxin Zhu's recent research focuses on forensic genetics, specifically the analysis and application of genetic markers (such as SNPs, STRs, and InDels) to improve the accuracy and efficiency of DNA identification from trace biological samples, including degraded DNA mixtures and microbe-derived DNA.
- Notable findings include the successful application of multi-SNP panels for detecting trace DNA in cold cases, as well as the establishment of population genetic structures for various ethnic groups in China, enhancing forensic capabilities in complex kinship and identification scenarios.
- Zhu has also explored innovative methods such as microbiota analysis to estimate geographic origins and has developed automated pipelines for efficient trace DNA detection, addressing significant challenges in forensic science related to the increasing throughput of DNA analysis.
