Analyzing the Bigfoot genome

Back in February, a Texas forensic scientist announced that she’d identified a DNA sample from Bigfoot and had sequenced the creature’s genome. Now the sequences have been released for wider scrutiny and Ars Technica’s John Timmer had a chance to dig into the data and speak with the discoverer of the possible Bigfoot genome. This is a story that, I think, everybody can enjoy — a skeptical analysis that’s respectful to the Bigfoot researchers and genuinely interested in understanding where the DNA in question came from and what the genome sequences can tell us.
