Research Abstract

We hypothesized that circadian rhythm-related gene mRNA expression level correlates to the time of death in order to establish the new estimation method using molecular biological techniques in forensic field. Arntl, Clock, Cry, and Per2 were chosen as target genes for realtime-PCR analysis in mice sacrificed every 6 hrs interval. Some genes showing dynamic expression change in Brain or Kidney seemed to be useful to estimate the time of death.
