theres probably no way to get a non-contaminated sample of dna from literal shit. i am just talking out of my ass though, i'm not a scatologist
Why not? It doesn't need to be clean, just unique to the individual.
theres a trillion bacteria in there, how would you separate the human dna from the bacteria dna
e: it turns out you can get dna from poop, at least from what I saw from googling. crazy stuff
I think there are at least two basic techniques. You can isolate the human DNA and that will generally be isolated to a single person (ignoring amorous encounters). Or you could profile the entire gut biom.
