Revolutionizing Bigfoot Research: DNA Vacuums and Wildlife Mapping

In the latest episode of "This Week in Bigfoot," the team explores the potential of DNA air sampling as a groundbreaking technique for collecting and analyzing DNA present in Airborne particles. This innovative approach, which provides valuable insight into species distribution, disease surveillance, and biodiversity, was recently tested by a group of researchers from the University of Copenhagen in the Danish Forest. Armed with specially designed air filters, the team sought to collect animal DNA from the air itself in the environment. After three days of collecting and replacing the air filters, researchers replicated the collected DNA sequences using a technique called polymers chain reaction. This replication process aids the detection and Analysis of the genetic material, the DNA is then sequenced to identify the species present in the samples. The results were remarkable, as the team detected DNA traces from over 60 animal species in an area roughly the size of a football field. Among the wild animal DNA detected were species such as Red Deer, Roe Deer, Eurasian Badger, white-tailed eagle, red Fox, Eurasian Red Squirrel, common toad, smooth newt, Great Crested Newt, crane, great spotted woodpecker, gray heron, and Marsh tit. The researchers were able to identify nearly a quarter of all the land living animals previously recorded in and around that area in only 72 hours. This pioneering approach of vacuuming DNA from the air also has immense potential in answering the Bigfoot question. The team at "This Week in Bigfoot" is coordinating a possible collaboration with the University of Copenhagen's researchers to potentially bring them one step closer to solving the mystery. In addition to DNA air sampling, the team also discusses the life and research of Peter Byrne, a legend in the Bigfoot community, as well as the potential implications of UFO hearings on Capitol Hill. It's worth noting that the team behind "This Week in Bigfoot" does not claim to have created the video, but rather, they are curating and reporting on the content. The video was discovered on YouTube and is being shared with the Bigfoot community through the Squatchable website. The team encourages readers to watch the video and form their own opinions on the topics discussed.
