DNA Boot Camp
What is DNA
First, let’s define DNA. DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic acid. It is the molecule that contains the genetic code of all organisms. DNA is in each cell of an organism and instructs the cells what proteins to make. A cell's proteins determine its function. DNA is inherited by children from their parents. The DNA in a person is a combination of the DNA from each of their parents.
DNA has a double helix shape, which is like a ladder twisted into a spiral. Each step of the ladder is a pair of nucleotides. The four nucleotides in this ladder are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The nitrogen bases are found in pairs. 'A' only pairs with 'T', and 'C' only pairs with 'G'. The bases are held together …show more content…
There was not an index for the track record at the time, we reviewed all 174 documents and gleaned the DNA articles and submissions. After reviewing the Track Record documents we turned to the web to see what it had to offer, not much. The year we undertook this review was 2005 and many of the television shows about Bigfoot did not exist.
Results:
The results of our research found that over 95% of the DNA on purported bigfoot specimens returned as “Human.” NABS found this as an extremely puzzling result considering the “BIG” names in the Bigfoot world that consider themselves, researchers proclaimed that Bigfoot was a type of ape. Many of these “researchers” claimed that the DNA showing “human” was compromised or contaminated and the results should be disregarded. We saw this same discussion time after time, discount the results, they are wrong. Again, almost every moderately famous researcher known for investigating Bigfoot issues proclaimed the studies and results were flawed,
