It isn't. It dates to the middle ages and there are two kinds of pigment that have been found microscopically.
The answer is almost certainly not. The odds of finding a complete DNA sequence on a sample that old are negligeable. DNA just doesn't stay together that well over a long time frame and it was in a fire at one point. You might be able to sequence bits and pieces of it, but you would never get the whole thing.

Yeah it's not genuine, sorry.
Perhaps the biggest clue should have been that the shroud had more Caucasian features to resemble the idealized image of white Jesus when historically he would have been a middle eastern man...

You need viable DNA for cloning and none has been found on the Shroud.

It was proved a couple of years ago to be a fraud. The cloth was woven long after Jesus' day.

Luckily it's already been proven a host. But maybe we can clone the guy who created it and congratulate him on a job well done.

It has already been proved to be a fraud and is quietly being put away by the Church.
