[Species diagnosis of a tissue using the polymerase chain reaction].
The unambiguous identification of a biological specimen can deliver invaluable evidence to solve criminal cases. In this case the origin of a heart had to be clarified. Using the polymerase chain reaction technique and species-specific primer pairs for two genes it was clearly shown that this tissue was not from a human but from a pig.
