  Author(s): Khushboo Gautam and Rakesh Rawal*
  
  As with other branches of forensic science, forensic microbiology is the study of the microbes associated with a cadaver to determine Time Since Death, Post Mortem Interval, and also identify the cause of death and personal identification. The advent of forensic microbiology and metagenomics has been aided by advances in genetic sequencing technologies, which have improved microbiological sample techniques and dramatically evolved bioinformatics pipelines. Humans carry a variety of microbial communities in and on their bodies, which constantly interact with and change their surroundings. Main Body of the Abstract: We reviewed more than 80 papers that detailed various aspects of the Post-Mortem Microbiome in terms of the Microbial Clock to identify such as geolocation, personal identification, trace evidence, manner and cause of death, postmortem interval and Ti..
