I have heard they did sequence the entire genome. The primers should still be useful if you want to sequence genes from a suspected sasquatch. IF they sequenced the entire genome those tests of specific genes or parts of genes obviously wouldn't be as definitive since all genes are sequenced. The primers are more for screening and sequencing parts of specific genes I would think. If the whole genome were sequenced they could easily target regions and select what primer to use so I would imagine that making the primers was done before the sequencing of the entire genome. It seems a bit superfluous now as far proving sasquatch if they have entire genomes. She might have other uses for them planned. The machines that do the entire genome apparently automate some of that like what primer to use. They do entire genomes for a few thousand dollars now. I don't recall for sure since I have a difficult time forming new memories but I believe it was something like a couple of weeks and $5,000.00 to do an entire genome. It seems like the technology to sequence a whole genome has made leaps and bound even since her bigfoot project came out. It is hard to keep up with. I am guessing that sequencing the entire genome might have complicated the study by adding much more data and opportunities. Some of the peers might have wanted greater verification. This is good explanation of what primers are. Apparently the main enzyme that makes DNA can only add to an existing chain and primers are long enough sequences to select end and starting points to replicate.
