Well I hope not, dna comes from sperm.

The lab determined two potential reasons why no tuna was detected in the sample, saying, "One it’s so heavily processed that whatever we could pull out, we couldn’t make an identification … Or we got some and there’s just nothing there that’s tuna," the newspaper noted.

Heat denatures DNA. The polymerase chain reaction uses this property. Heat the DNA to about 205F or so and hold for 30 or so seconds. The two halves of the DNA double helix unzip leaving two single strands of DNA. The single strands are still viable and can still be reassembled into double stranded DNA by the proper enzymes upon a slight reduction in temperature to prevent the newly formed double strands from denaturing again. This is the backbone of the polymerase chain reaction. Mildly heat DNA to denature it, then introduce a polymerase that can withstand the temperature and then lower the temperature to allow the newly copied DNA to exist until the copy is made. Then turn the heat back up and repeat the cycle over and over. 1 DNA molecule becomes 2 becomes 4 becomes 8... This process is what's called "amplification". Higher temperatures or prolonged heating, however, will physically destroy DNA, not just temporarily denature it. Canned tuna is generally cooked in a retort at temperatures well above 205F for hours on end. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if there are no viable DNA fragments left after the canning process.

Hey, man, if you want to continue to eat at Subway, go for it.

I like the danger.

Ireland recently ruled that Subway bread can't be called bread.

Spell Tuna Sub backwards.

Tuna is processed between 240-255 degrees and has to be held there for at least 3 minutes. That doesn’t include the warm up and cool down time. This is the most likely reason there was no Tuna DNA. If there was some other kind of DNA, they would have reported it.

Subway bread is not bread, Irish court rules

The last stop for food/gas/beer/ice to my hunting spot has a Subway and the Turkey Club footlong is deelishish after an afternoon of drinking around the fire and you don't want to hassle with camp cooking and cleaning up etc. I don't care if it's trash food.
Also, the only people who order tuna sandwiches at Subway (or any sandwich chain) are Moslums. It's a fact. I have worked at 5 different sandwich chains (none Subway) and this is my experience. Not sure how that's relevant but thought the OT would like to know.

No wonder Americans are so god damn fat

I thought it was known most canned tuna is in fact albacore and not the more valuable tuna. Most "catfish" now is Swai.

Subway has been horrible since Hared got busted.
Go with Firehouse Subs. Much better.
