Scientists are hoping to extract DNA from Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings and sketchbooks. It may help solve the mystery of whether the artist's remains are buried in a chateau in the Loire Valley. Professor Jesse Ausubel is the Vice Chair of the Richard Lounsbury Foundation, which is backing the project.
