FLICKR, JD HANCOCKEarlier this year, Texas-based company DNA Diagnostics published sequence data from what they claimed was a sample from the Sasquatch. Those samples have since been analyzed by an anonymous but “highly reputable geneticist,” according to the SciGuy blog hosted by The Houston Chronicle, and the results are in: the DNA is in fact a mix of opossum and other species, and not a new primate species.
Berger met with the geneticist last week and asked about the results of the new analysis. “It was, he told me, a mix of opossum and other species,” wrote Berger. “No find of the century.” The “other species,” which are presumably known species, were not named and the sequence data has not been published.
