Abstract: 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.

Key words: forensic histology, DNA technology, human identification, burned bone
