Guest Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 ^ Well she has clearly self-published. She better release that footage now. I guess no one would touch the paper or that it completely failed peer review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gerrykleier Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Somebody wake up Saskeptic! He would probably have an informed opinion. I figured she was going to have to publish it online. It will cause a stir among Anthropologists and 'DNA Scientists". They will look it over and if there is a solid scientific base they will pick up the ball. We may hear a lot of static about the hybridization theory and date, but that's not important if the basic fact of BIGFOOT DNA is acknowledged. First round of the Bigfoot Science War? We'll see what Sykes has to say. I wonder who will get credit? I hope she has a lot to say when the paper is officially out. Fun week ahead fer' sure!

gotafeeling Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 This doesn't appear to be an esteemed journal, in fact the copyright on that page says 2013. A new journal? And how come i'm not seeing any PHD's behind the names of the Authors on that list? A quick search of the first named, Wojtkiewicz, shows that he has a PhD.

Guest Tomocvar Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 To me, if this is publishing this week it's HUGE news. Even if it's not in a top tier journal. Even if Melba had to start her own Journal to publish. Because this starts the snowball rolling downhill. Look out for the avalanche. Buckle up indeed;-) Because once her data is out there. Then it can be reviewed and hopefully replicated by others. The headlines will definitely make this a "HOT" topic for research. Congrats Melba, you go girl. And also congratulations to the thousands of researchers who may not be part of this study but whose toil and sweat kept the research alive . Inspite of the scorn and ridicule tossed on them from the public and mainstream science. I believe Mr. Patterson is looking down smiling right now.

Guest Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Well, it will depend on HER paper and its accuracies or lack of... if she self published.... But to take a giant step like this after no response from the Scientific community, will either point out the problems in Bigfoot Science or will destroy her... She took this chance, and I am sure it is well funded.... She will either succeed or fail off of her decisions... I don't think she could or would ask for any more. Now She can let the world decide ... Her work on this project is done.... Let's see what follows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 THREE BIGFOOT GENOMES SEQUENCED IN 5-YEAR DNA STUDY New Research Paper Published Friday Shows Homo Sapiens/Unknown Hominin Hybrid Species Extant in North America DALLAS, February 10th A team of scientists will publish their five-year long study of DNA samples from a novel hominin species, commonly known as “Bigfoot†or “Sasquatch,†on Friday February 15th, 2013. The results suggest that the legendary Sasquatch is extant in North America and is a human relative that arose approximately 13,000 years ago as a hybrid cross of modern Homo sapiens with an novel primate species. The study, “Novel North American Hominins, Next Generation Sequencing of Three Whole Genomes and Associated Studies,†was conducted by a team of experts in genetics, forensics, imaging and pathology. The team, led by Dr. Melba Ketchum of DNA Diagnostics in Nacogdoches, TX, included Dr. Pat Wojtkiecicz, Director of the North Louisiana Criminalistics Laboratory; Ms. Aliece Watts of Integrated Forensic Laboratories in Euless, TX; Mr. David Spence, Trace Evidence Supervisor at Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences; Dr. Andreas K. Holzenburg, Director of the Microscopy & Imaging Center at Texas A&M University; Dr. Douglas G. Toler of Huguley Pathology Consultants in Fort Worth, TX; Dr. Thomas M. Prychitko of Wayne State University in Michigan; Dr. Fan Zhang of the University of North Texas Health Science Center; and Sarah Bollinger, Ray Shoulders, and Ryan Smith of DNA Diagnostics. In total, 110 specimens of purported Sasquatch hair, blood, skin, and other tissue types were analyzed for the study. Samples were submitted by individuals and groups at 34 different hominin research sites in 14 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces. Ketchum’s team sequenced 20 whole and 10 partial mitochondrial genomes, as well as 3 whole nuclear genomes, from the samples. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) comes from mitochondria, energy-producing organelles in the cellular cytoplasm, and is passed down on the maternal lineage across generations. Nuclear DNA (nuDNA) is the genetic information contained in the cell nucleus and is the equal combination of DNA from the parents of an individual. Initially a skeptic, Ketchum implemented strict protocols to ensure the scientific integrity of the study. DNA samples from submitters and scientists working with study specimens were obtained for use as controls. DNA was extracted from samples using forensic procedures to prevent contamination. Forensics experts examined the morphology of the submitted hair samples against known human and animal samples before beginning DNA testing. “We soon discovered that certain hair samples--which we would later identify as purported Sasquatch samples--had unique morphology distinguishing them from typical human and animal samples,†says Ketchum. “Those hair samples that could not be identified as known animal or human were subsequently screened using DNA testing, beginning with sequencing of mitochondrial DNA followed by sequencing nuclear DNA to determine where these individuals fit in the ‘tree of life.'†After extensive forensic controls to prevent contamination, mtDNA testing of the Sasquatch samples yielded fully modern human profiles. Sixteen haplotypes indicating 100% homology with modern human mtDNA sequences were observed from 20 completed whole and 10 partial mitochondrial genomes. The human mtDNA results are consistent with prior, unrelated mtDNA tests of purported Sasquatch samples from other laboratories. Next-generation whole genome sequencing with the HiSeq 2000 platform by Illumina was performed at the University of Texas, Southwestern on one tissue sample, a saliva sample and one blood sample to produce 3 whole genomes. In contrast to the mtDNA which was unambiguously modern human, the Sasquatch nuDNA results were a mosaic of novel primate and human sequence. “While the three Sasquatch nuclear genomes aligned well with one another and showed significant homology to human chromosome 11 which is highly conserved in primates, the Sasquatch genomes were novel and fell well outside of known ancient hominin as well as ape sequences,†explains Ketchum. “Because some of the mtDNA haplogroups found in our Sasquatch samples originated as late as 13,000 years ago, we are hypothesizing that the Sasquatch are human hybrids, the result of males of an unknown hominin species crossing with female Homo sapiens.†Hominins are members of the taxonomic grouping Hominini, which includes all members of the genus Homo. “Novel North American Hominins, Next Generation Sequencing of Three Whole Genomes and Associated Studies.†Authors: Ketchum MS, Wojtkiewicz PW, Watts AB, Spence DW, Holzenburg AK, Toler DG, Prychitko TM, Zhang F, Bollinger S, Shoulders R, Smith R Journal of Advanced Multidisciplinary Exploration in Zoology. 11 January 2013. Specimens yielding DNA were obtained, purportedly from elusive hominins in North America called Sasquatch.

Guest Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It does look like a new journal. I did an extensive search using multiple search engines and came up with almost nothing, except a very empty new journal with one other entry and her's pending. Hmmm... If it does publish tomorrow, then I'll be surprised, since I never expected any of it to see the light of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 From her Facebook: "There will be more information tomorrow on the Genome website we will be launching. it will discuss delays and peer review." I think that is bound to be a very interesting read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
