Things trickle out from time to time but not much. We are still having problems getting the scientist to actually read the paper and look at the data. They will complain there is no data there, but there is data they just do not want to accept it. They want the raw labs results which in my estimation would number close 400 or 500 with all the blind studies, etc. I wish Melba would just post it all but I understand her reluctance. It will be interesting when the Sykes study is published. If he does retrieve a full genome the we will have something to compare Melba's 3 genomes too. If they match then watch out!

She claims that the samples included mtDNA from haplogroup H12, which is a haplogroup originating in Western Europe. She also claims that Bigfoot was the result of interbreeding between human females and an unknown hominin approximately 15 kya. That raises the obvious question of how it got here - there were no Europeans in America 15 kya. Other samples came from Haplogroup HV2, which is southwest Asia and southeast Europe. Similarly, there were samples with Haplogroup T, which is usually found near the Baltic Sea, and less frequently in the Arabian peninsula and Horn of Africa. Again, this is not what you would expect for a North American hominin. <br /><br />The sheer diversity of haplogroups, coupled with their geographic origins, raise serious questions about whether these are the result of contamination. Ketchum glazes over this issue by saying "Q30" and claiming the results are in line with the Solutrean Hypothesis (not theory, despite what Ketchum thinks), which lacks support and has been discredited by multiple studies.

If one just goes by the main stream press, Dr. Ketchum's work looks like a joke but your work, Coast to Coast and Linda Moulton Howe have proved otherwise!<br /><br />I do have a question. Do you have the mDNA haplogroup of the samples taken. Are they all the same haplogroup? This would tell us, since it is human, roughly when the mixing with humans took place in terms of a maximum and would tell us what lineage it is. I my genome though the National Geographic's GENO 2.0 and my mDNA is Haplogroup H1 which is a common northern european haplogroup. It would be interesting to see if the bigfoot mDNA is Native American, Asian, European, etc..<br />P.S. I found out that I am 2.9% Neanderthal and 2.4% Denisovan. With the bigfoot sequencing, maybe we all have some of that too!<br />Thanksseth richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930685213999733382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882799545813392401.post-47886089731714325912013-02-25T17:30:59.162-05:002013-02-25T17:30:59.162-05:00You are overstating the importance of the Q-score....You are overstating the importance of the Q-score. The Q-score only deals with base call errors, which are insertions, substitutions, or deletions from the DNA. These are not due to contamination at all. Let me give you an example. Say your sequence is supposed to look like this:<br /><br /> ATCGATTGAGCTCTAGCG<br /> TAGCTAACTCGAGATCGC <br /><br />But instead it looks like this:<br /><br /> ATGATTGAGCTCTAGCG<br /> TACTAACTCGAGATCGC<br /><br />You'd have a base pair error in that CG was deleted from the third spot. Or you might have a sequence that looks like this:<br /><br /> ATACGATTGAGCTCTAGCG<br /> TATGCTAACTCGAGATCGC<br /><br />Where AT was inserted into the sequence in the third spot. Or finally, you might have a sequence that looks like this:<br /><br /> ATAGATTGAGCTCTAGCG<br /> TATCTAACTCGAGATCGC<br /><br />Where AT replaced CG in the third spot. <br /><br />These types of errors are most likely to result from errors in the preparation of the samples. They rarely occur due to contamination.

The only thing demanded is evidence. If the evidence contradicts current theory in some way then modification to the theory occurs. Contrary to popular opinion, scientists thrive on theory modification. They would have uninteresting careers otherwise.<br /><br />Hopefully the research which you participated in can be repeated by others while Ketchum and her team receive due credit.<br /><br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11733147343918630488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882799545813392401.post-12154729617551190412013-02-23T08:10:10.802-05:002013-02-23T08:10:10.802-05:00Grammy says, Thank you, Missin Misty: the defini...Grammy says, Thank you, Missin Misty: the definitions are essential! <br /><br />The GenBank website has some essential information, too. I didn't know that GenBank is paid for with our tax dollars, via NIH. So the information they store actually belongs to us.<br /><br />When GenBank asked Dr. Ketchum for a signed release for the DNA sequences from "Homo sapiens cognatus", they violated their own policy. On their website, under the PRIVACY heading: "GenBank assumes that the submitter has received any necessary informed consent authorizations required prior to submitting sequences." And they are referring to the sequences of living, identifiable, "Homo sapiens sapiens" individuals. How much more would that assumption apply to a novel hominid, hiding in the woods? Misty, I believe your questions about the Human-Chimp split are the key to this roadblock. Our entire education system is built on that sequence of illustrations showing apes metamorphosing to humans: this DNA study throws a drastic light on that presumed sequence.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746337477925213143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882799545813392401.post-8317290136851372842013-02-23T07:21:45.492-05:002013-02-23T07:21:45.492-05:00Outstanding my friend!

Wikipedia definition of Scientific theory is taken From the American Association for the Advancement of Science:<br />A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world. <br />Live Science says: A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step—known as a theory—in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.<br /><br />The FACT is Sasquatch is REAL!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13648923891203053805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882799545813392401.post-16483673711230527212013-02-23T03:23:44.493-05:002013-02-23T03:23:44.493-05:00Scott just did it the other day in his follow up t...Scott just did it the other day in his follow up to bigfoot or shadow.

I have lately thought of Bigfoot as a hominid but not some freaky high-bred. I will have to wait and see on this; it would be a stretch for me to believe this. Either way things are looking good for Bigfoot and the research that Dr Ketchum has done. Also Bigfoot is real whether half human or not. Keep up the good work.
