i agree with the link whole heartedly with the explaination given. but from the start even if DNA did count for the mutation and caused a blood tie...i don't think Yoshi's DNA was ever introduced into the turtles...i don't think he ever touched them before they were initially exposed to the mutagen. i would think it was mainly the pet store owner or the people that caught the turtles out in the wild or the breeders that supplied the store with the turtles that introduced the Human aspect to them for the mutagen to lock in the genetic codes. i think that by the time Yoshi made physical contact the mutation was already in the process of altering them so it didn't matter that he touched them at that moment.
