abstract = {Forensic microbiomics is a promising tool for crime investigation. Geolocation, which
connects an individual to a certain place or location by microbiota, has been fairly well studied in
the literature, and several applications have been found. The aim of this review is to highlight the
main findings in this field, including the current sample storage, DNA extraction, sequencing and
data analysis techniques that are being used, and its potential applications in human trafficking
and ancient DNA studies. Second, the challenges and limitations of forensic microbiomics and
geolocation are emphasised, providing recommendations for the establishment of this tool in the
forensic science community.},
