Attempt To Sequence “Bigfoot’s Genome” Goes Badly Off Track
Humans interbred with an unknown hominin in Europe, then crossed the Bering Sea—say what? Warning signs Potential problems with the samples were apparent in what were likely the first experiments done with the DNA isolated from them. These were amplifications of specific human DNA sequences using a technique called the polymerase chain reaction, or PCR. By using short DNA sequences that match parts of the human genome, it's possible to start with a single DNA molecule and create many copies of it, which makes it simple to detect its presence.
