ABSTRACT
Using of high throughput sequencing technology to study the microbial diversity in complex samples has become one of the hottest issues in the field of microbial diversity research. In this study, the soil and sheep rumen chyme samples were used to extract DNA, respectively. Then the 25 ng total DNA was used to amplify the 16S rRNA V3 region with 20, 25, 30 PCR cycles, and the final sequencing library was constructed by mixing equal amounts of purified PCR products. Finally, the operational taxonomic unit (OUT) amount, rarefaction curve, microbial number and species were compared through data analysis. It was found that at the same amount of DNA template, the proportion of the community composition was not the best with more numbers of PCR cycle, although the species number was much more. In all, when the PCR cycle number is 25, the number of species and proportion of the community composition were the most optimal both in soil or chyme samples.

MicroRNA has speciifc biological and expression properties in transcription level, which has more potential than genomic DNA in the identification for forensic body fluid, species and degraded crime biological materials. Here we introduce the speciifc research of forensic body lfuid identiifcation, research strategies and applied perspectives with forensic miRNA, expecting to provide the application and study of miRNA analysis for reference.
