| Bryan Sykes from Oxford University wants your Bigfoot deoxyribonucleic acid samples | 
 As role of a larger research into the genetic human relationship betwixt our ain species Homo sapiens in addition to other hominids, nosotros invite submissions of organic cloth from formally undescribed species, or “cryptids”, for the purpose of their species identification past times genetic means.
  Timetable
  The projection is divided into 3 phases.
  SAMPLE SUBMISSION PHASE        May – September 2012
  deoxyribonucleic acid ANALYSIS PHASE            September – Nov 2012
  PUBLICATION PHASE            November – Dec 2012

  ·    Its provenance: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 curt concern human relationship of the origin of the sample, when in addition to where (with coordinates if known) it was collected in addition to how it came to hold out inwards your possession.
  ·    Identification: Your catch of its probable species identification, in addition to your reasons.
  ·    Authority: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 contestation that yous are entitled to ship the specimen for analysis in addition to that nosotros guide keep permission to pose out the results.
  In monastic state to avoid misidentification of samples due to contamination, our preferred cloth is hair, although tissues volition hold out considered.

  You may select whether to hold out identified every bit the donor of the sample, or to rest anonymous.
  deoxyribonucleic acid ANALYSIS 
  At the cease of the submission phase, the near promising samples volition hold out selected for deoxyribonucleic acid analysis. You volition non hold out charged for the analysis. Unselected samples volition hold out returned. 
  The procedure of deoxyribonucleic acid analysis is destructive. Any unused cloth from selected samples volition hold out returned or, if yous prefer, volition hold out submitted for curation every bit role of the Bernard Heuvelmans Cryptozoology archive inwards Lausanne. 
  PUBLICATION PHASE
  Results from deoxyribonucleic acid analysis volition hold out prepared for publication inwards a peer-reviewed scientific discipline journal. No results volition hold out released until whatsoever embargoes on publication guide keep passed.
