Overview
- The DNA Resonance Research Foundation, led by Dr. Max Rempel, posted an analysis asserting preliminary evidence of genetic sequences in humans that do not match either parent.
- The review of 581 complete families from the 1,000 Genomes Project reported 348 non‑parental variants and larger unexplained sequences in 11 families, including cases preceding 1990.
- Multiple geneticists say the reported anomalies can be explained by read errors, contamination, or undocumented human variation rather than non‑human origins.
- The foundation also examined 23andMe data from self‑identified abductees but acknowledges consumer genotyping lacks the resolution needed for claims of novel insertions.
- DNA Resonance says it will seek volunteers and apply higher‑resolution sequencing in a planned second phase to pursue independent verification.
