See the comment by Edwards & Barnett (2015) and the correction note. These are part of the academic exchange around Sykes et al. and show the community engaged with the data/methods. - ⁠https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269695589_Himalayan_%27yeti%27_DNA_Polar_bear_or_DNA_degradation_A_comment_on_%27Genetic_analysis_of_hair_samples_attributed_to_Yeti%27_by_Sykes_et_al_2014?utm_source=chatgpt.com⁠ A 2013 claim (Melba Ketchum et al.) asserted Sasquatch DNA evidence but was published in a non-standard journal and broadly criticized by geneticists; mainstream genetics sources call it unreliable.
