Putting stakes in the deep sands of time – deep DNA genealogy
Colossal Biosciences raised $200M at a $10.2B post to bring back animals from extinction
Posting full genome data from select human remains in Ancestry and similar DNA genealogy formats would double the range of those tests. It would provide a bridge to use the full genome for deep human DNA genealogy, and provide human genealogy for much of the human species (and other species) that have no paper records. I am thinking about Africa, India, China, Russia, Europe. With full genome under $300 if makes $100 snp tests a short term distraction.
My Mayflower ancestor, Edward Doty and his wife Faith Clarke. For 400 years his parents are still unknown. Is their DNA recoverable? Or their children?
What famous people have many living descendants?
Now we have to go from the living person to a deep ancestor and then back to the other living person. But for verified sponsored remains – they would go from living people to the ancestor directly – twice as deep for the same “global open DNA genealogy format”. And much further back with full genome communities over time.
The “open DNA genealogy format” is so it would bolt into existing DNA genealogy collections and groups — but open and global, and for the dream of “the human family”.
Pharaohs and Kings, Emperors, Explorers, Discoverers ??
Unidentified remains?
