DNA Testing of Hair Samples Project
An important arena of research is occurring regarding the collection and testing of hair samples, especially from Bigfoot/Sasquatch. The focus of such testing is now on the acceptance of such hair samples for morphological examination through the efforts of Dr. W. Henner Fahrenbach. Dr. Fahrenbach welcomes any samples, especially since the presumptive positive ones broaden his regional database. DNA analysis on Sasquatch hairs (all of which appear to look congruous from all different sites) has come to a halt since the extracted DNA, even from fresh roots, turns out to be so fragmented that no sequencing can be accomplished. However, the morphology is the precursor to any other analysis, and the greater the sampling the broader the foundation of the database. Hair samples should be sent to the below address in a plastic baggie in a normal envelope. Expensive and fast mailing procedures are superfluous and unnecessary. Please label the sample clearly with the date of collection, location of collection, name and address of the collector and/or field investigator.
