DNA vs.The Book of Mormon

The book of mormon(BoM) teaches that the Lamanites are a remnant of the house of Israel (Title pg. BoM) and that they are the principal ancestors of the American Indians (Intro. pg BoM).
  According to the BoM
-Lehi brought his family from Jeruselum to the Americas in 600b.c.
-Nephi & Laman were sons of Lehi, Nephi & his followers (Nephites) were good guys, while Laman & his followers (Lamanites) were not.
-The Lamanites (ancestors of American Indians) were fair & delightsome until the Lord cursed them with dark skin.
-This is how the Lamanites (ancestors of American Indians) got dark skin and they could now be distinguished from the Nephites (good guys).
-Eventually everyone but the Lamanites (ancestors of American Indians) were destroyed.
Does DNA support that American Indians are from Israel?
 -DNA shows that American Indians are of Asian decsent, they came from Asia, they are not from Israel like the book of mormon claims.
