A weapon found at the scene has now been sent to the forensic search laboratory to analyse the red substance on the weapon. Is this blood? Students will proceed through a series of practicals in our forensic search laboratory to analyse for traces of evidence such as blood, hairs and fibres.

Tennessee Army National Guard Military Police Soldiers preform tasks for successful completion of their Senior Leader ship course at the Volunteer Training Academy, Smyrna Tennessee. Some tasks consist learning how to find forensic evidence. Forensic science is any science that can be used in the legal system. Forensic scientists look at evidence with scientific principles in mind. Though much forensic work applies to criminal cases, sometimes it applies to civil proceedings as well..

Protein Methylation Analysis-Protein methylation is a post-translational modification (PTM) process, in which highly specific enzymes called methyltransferases are responsible for the addition of methyl groups to a targeted molecule and S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) as the primary donor of methyl group. Protein methylation commonly occurs on arginine, lysine, histidine, proline, and carboxyl groups. Protein methylation plays an important role in modulating cellular and biological processes, including transcriptional regulation, RNA processing, metabolism and signal transduction.
