Determination of a microbial signature of a dumped and moved body

Pigs were placed out in a field in metro Phoenix and then moved to a trashcan. Soil was collected from the trashcan, soil near where the body was dumped, and soil where the body was dumped. Microbiome sequencing occurred from the soil samples.

实验猪被放置在菲尼克斯都会区（metro Phoenix）的一处田野中，随后被转移至垃圾桶内。研究人员分别从垃圾桶内的土壤、猪尸弃置区域附近的土壤以及猪尸直接被弃置处的土壤中采集样本。对上述土壤样本开展了微生物组（microbiome）测序分析。
