<p class="jove_content">High-temperature exposure severely degrades deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in burned bones, limiting conventional short tandem repeat profiling. This review examines thermal damage mechanisms, current forensic DNA workflows, and emerging approaches for highly degraded remains, with particular emphasis on the potential and current limitations of hybridization capture for forensic identification.</p>
