DNA
We are indebted to all those who have so kindly helped in researching DNA of native peoples to see whether they have Chinese DNA
To date 31 of these 54 peoples have ‘Chinese’ genes.
The work in progress of the remaining 23 follows:
| People and Location | Contact Name | Remarks | |
| 1 | Testing DNA of all samples provided by friends of Zheng He/ 1421 | Tony Frudakis, PhD, Head of Research and CSO DNAPrint Genomics Inc. Sarasota, Fl. 34236 | DNAPrint Genomics are in funds for 40 kits of which Jerry Warsing has 20. |
