With all the history and lore in eve and the advancement in in game tech and research. HAS the Jovian DNA profile been mapped? If so is there a image like a jpeg? I would personally like to see what the jovian DNA looks like. I will also cross post this in EVE Fiction forum.

It's often quoted how similar human and chimpanzee dna is, about 96% i'm told. Less often is mentioned that humans and bananas share 50% of their dna.
The reason for this is like the similarities between two books, one is a list of mechanical parts, the other Tolstoy's War and Peace. They are nearly identical due to the spaces between the letters and words being identical. The crucial information that differentiates them is minimal and needs that space-filler to work.
So the dna of Jovians, and every other living thing, is going to look pretty much the same.

That could be what Project Discovery is really about.

Sure the Sisters Of Eve say it's Human DNA but maybe it's actually Jovian.

Another one that doesn't buy into the 'peaceful explorers' partyline!

As Jovians are humans that evolved on their own, separated from other groups, their DNA could be still considered Human DNA. Depends on the differences in DNA we would have. For sure its the same clade and the ancestor was homo sapiens.

If sisters may call it human DNA and in fact its taken from Jovians or their descendants, then difference is not big over ancestor homo sapiens and all of New Eden sapient inhibitants descended from them. This small difference still can have great effect on our body development.
