Abstract (short)​

One hundred eleven samples of blood, tissue, hair, and other types of specimens were studied, characterized and hypothesized to be obtained from elusive hominins in North America commonly referred to as Sasquatch. DNA was extracted and purified from a subset of these samples that survived rigorous screening for wildlife species identification. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing, specific genetic loci sequencing, forensic short tandem repeat (STR) testing, whole genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) bead array analysis, and next generation whole genome sequencing were conducted on purported Sasquatch DNA samples gathered from various locations in North America. Additionally, histopathologic and electron microscopic examination were performed on a large tissue sample. vel non-human DNA.

BTW: hello everyone.

Interesting read.

You may introduce yourself in the introduction section.

Great finds....a dead one will be found,, it's a matter of "if" but when.....

[guategojira]

Interesting although very long document (41 pages).

Just a question, if this is an "official" document, how is that there is not an avalanch of news and media promoting this exceptional discovery?

[blaze]

It was published in a journal yes, but it was a journal bought and renamed by the authors with the sole purpose of publishing this paper since it kept failing peer-review in other venues, the "peer review" of this paper came from the authors themselves and the only volume and issue that this journal has published contains this sole paper, that's why I wrote journal with quotation marks next to the link. Still I wanted to post the news partially without my opinion because not only I didn't have access to the paper, I have no deep knowledge of genetics in order to judge it, that's why I posted links to reactions of people that do haha.

[guategojira]

I get the point.

On June the 7th a circus wants to show a living bigfoot at the Washington Square Park in New York City: roadtrippers.com/blog/bigfoot-captured-event-promises-public-display-of-live-sasquatch-this-weekend

However there are no direct references in the article and the author claims to be a "professional monster chaser".

[guategojira]

Interesting. Let's see tomorrow in the internet, where anything can happen.

It is already Tuesday, what happen at the end? Somebody tell me?

[Derdadort]

A real bigfoot, uh, big foot: www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/07/bigfoot-tiny-tot-circus-n_n_5461278.html

Wow, that is a BIG foot. Jajajajajajaja

If there is a species of large primate living the north woods of the USA and Canada, then it's DNA should be found in grizzly droppings.

i think it's worth noting that the woman who wass the co- author of this paper frequently has bigfoot talk to her telepathically an has "recorded them on multiple instances"but will not release the videos to any bigfoot researcher.

wouldn't put a whole lot of faith into her study, but that's just my $0.02
