Yep. She's Back. The Bigfoot Lady. Thanks for the link to the paper.
And she's being interviewed on coast-to-coast-am right now.
probably find an archive here. she and some of her colleagues may be paying the price, too.

The plot sickens :

What about just paying to have it analyzed?
A quick search shows there are a lot of paid services out there.
From under $100 on up.
Most are ancestry or paternity oriented, but cash is cash and there should be one that would do it.

Sorry to say - it's a possum...

Smells to me. Annonymous tester + no published ENTIRE sequence.

Any one motivated to could do that with human DNA and, going by a partial sequence, conclude it was from an earthworm.

Looks like the games & run-around continue. On this end . . .

Ms. Ketchum is not happy....

"After Ketchum’s research was published, the International Science Times found that DNA Diagnostics, the company that was used to analyze the Bigfoot DNA, had been given an “F” by the Better Business Bureau."

July 7th piece from arstechnica website.

"How the attempt to sequence “Bigfoot’s genome” went badly off track"

"When we first looked at the report of the bigfoot genome, it was an odd mixture of things: standard methods and reasonable looking data thrown in with unusual approaches and data that should have raised warning flags for any biologist. We just couldn't figure out the logic of why certain things were done or the reasoning behind some of the conclusions the authors reached. So, we spent some time working with the reported genome sequences themselves and talked with the woman who helped put the analysis together, Dr. Melba Ketchum. While it didn't answer all of our questions, it gave us a clearer picture of how the work came to be.

The biggest clarification made was what the team behind the results considered their scientific reasoning, which makes sense of how they ran past warning signs that they were badly off track. It provided an indication of what motivated them to push the results into a publication that they knew would cause them grief."

If the videographer was that close to Bigfoot, what happened when the creature woke up?

Those Geico Bigfoot ads are funny.

Here some peer reviews of Ketchum's study:
