Hi there
This question has been bugging me. I have donated bone marrow to someone (unrelated). Perhaps I have been watching too much CSI, but I was curious, since this individual has my marrow, if youwere to test a blood sample of his, would it be my DNA?

Yes. But it would be mixed up with his own. So if this person did do something that required forensic evidence of DNA to be taken there is a possibility of your DNA showing up alongside of theirs. And there actually was a real case where this occurred.

Holy crap! Yes, it could be your DNA!
