Burned bones have their unique characteristics in investigation of fire disaster/crimes, airplane disaster, explosion and other accidents. To study the morphological changes of skeletal tissue and DNA changes at different incinerating temperature might provide precise standard means to determine genera, sex, and age. Genetic locus was also applied in the above fields. The techniques to extract and detect of DNA in burning bones have been improved in recent years. In this article investigation advancement of analysis of burned bones with the morphology, histology, and molecular biology as well as the latest methods and techniques were reviewed. These results provide a new approach for further research and practice in forensic medicine.
在火灾/犯罪、飞机失事、爆炸及其他事故的调查中，烧焦的骨头具有其独特的特征。研究不同焚烧温度下骨骼组织的形态变化和DNA变化，可能会为确定种族、性别和年龄提供精确的标准方法。基因位点也应用于上述领域。近年来，从烧焦骨头中提取和检测DNA的技术已有改进。本文综述了利用形态学、组织学和分子生物学对烧焦骨头进行分析的研究进展以及最新方法和技术。这些结果为法医学的进一步研究和实践提供了新途径。
