I ricercatori della Rockefeller hanno trovato molte diverse tracce di DNA sui suoi quadri ma non hanno un DNA suo, quindi non sanno quale sia, quindi stanno cercando di mettere insieme tutti i DNA uguali, usando altri dati, in modo da poter dire che probabilmente è quello più presente sui dipinti.
The study does not claim that the DNA belongs to Leonardo, but the team believes it has established a method and framework that can be used to investigate other artifacts. If the same Y chromosome sequence is consistently found across items, it could potentially be the key to assembling Leonardo’s genome, said study coauthor Dr. Charles Lee, professor at The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine in Farmington, Connecticut.
Tracking down the artist’s DNA could provide insights into his brilliant capabilities. The team believes that he had unusually high visual acuity, or the ability to see things in a more detailed way than the average person, based on his artwork.
