An important question I would think is what advances are needed in DNA science in order to extract the scribe(s)' DNA without harming the manuscript and what advances are needed in DNA science and increased public population DNA databases to identify the scribe(s) and their characteristics. And how long will it be before these advances become reality? (Are there any advances required in sequencing techniques and potential isolating specific DNA when many samples from different people are present?) If DNA is found from more than one scribe it could be compared to see if they are related or of the same gender.
