"Just saying if you want 6.80001 Myr DNA its not impossible its just going to be a huge expensive PITA compared to existing techniques for stuff merely 100 years old." That's kind of an interesting problem. I wonder how much material you'd need to get decent coverage of a averaged sized organism (few gigabases) given the decay rates they calculated.
