A Genetic Testing Company Gave FBI Access to Its DNA Data
Family Tree DNA, a major consumer genetic testing company, gave the FBI access to its massive DNA database. While running genetic analysis on evidence isn’t new, Family Tree DNA is the first private company to voluntarily grant a law enforcement agency to access its data, according to BuzzFeed News. For the company’s roughly 1 million customers who wanted to learn … Continue reading
How ALL of Mankind Descended from ONE Couple 200,000 Years Ago
Are we all related? via Express UK: Scientists claim MODERN humans descended from a single couple who mated up to 200,000 years ago. The stunning conclusion was reached by researchers who surveyed millions of genetic ‘bar codes’ of 100,000 different species – including humans – and believe that one particular union resulted in billions of humans being born through centuries. … Continue reading
Is it Possible to Reprogram DNA with Words?
Our DNA can feed its proper data into a network of consciousness and can call up data from the network and also establish contact with other participants in the network. When words and phrases were spoken and modulated on specific frequencies — the reprogramming effect on DNA was extraordinary. In recent years, Russian scientists have embarked on groundbreaking DNA research, and … Continue reading
Scientists Say They Have Deciphered DNA of Tiny ‘Alien’ Found in Atacama Desert
I wonder if any ‘published’ study like this would ever tell the real story. via Sputniknews: The unusual-looking fifteen centimeter humanoid with an enlarged head and a series of other odd skeletal features was found in Chile’s Atacama Desert in 2003, its unusual form baffling scientists and causing observers to ask whether the skeleton was that of an alien being. … Continue reading
DNA Variants That Cause Poor Health May Also Make You ‘Stupid’
What makes some people smarter than others? A genetic analysis of families in Scotland, UK, hints that brainier people have fewer DNA mutations that impair intelligence and general health, rather than having more genetic variants that make them smarter. “This is one of the most exciting studies on the genetics of intelligence I’ve seen for a while,” says Steve Stewart-Williams … Continue reading
Link Between Ancient Eurasian and Modern Humans Revealed by DNA Sequencing
Until recently, very little was known about the genetic relationship between modern humans of the Upper Palaeolithic age (the period of time between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago, also called the Late Stone age) and today’s populations. But with direct DNA sequencing, researchers are discovering unexpected genetic connections between individuals on opposing sides of Eurasia. These suggest a complex history … Continue reading
‘Never-Seen-Before’ Viruses Containing Weird DNA Were Just Discovered in the Ocean
Of course my first thought is, could it be ALIEN DNA from outer space? via science alert: The ocean is crowded. As many as 10 million viruses can be found squirming in a single millilitre of its water, and it turns out they have friends we never even knew about. Scientists have discovered a previously unknown family of viruses that … Continue reading
Mutant Gene in Amish People Seems to Give Them a 10 years Longer Lifespan
An age-defying mutation found in the genes of Amish people appears to be boosting their lifespan. Individuals carrying a single non-functional copy of the gene SERPINE1 live an average of 10 years longer than other members of their communities, according to new research. The study was carried out with the Old Order Amish of Indiana, who generally avoid the trappings … Continue reading
Interstellar Ice Delivered via Meteorite Strikes May Provide the Answer to Birth of DNA
Researchers at the University of York have shown that molecules brought to earth in meteorite strikes could potentially be converted into the building blocks of DNA. They found that organic compounds, called amino nitriles, the molecular precursors to amino acids, were able to use molecules present in interstellar ice to trigger the formation of the backbone molecule, 2-deoxy-D-ribose, of DNA. … Continue reading
Researchers Develop Technology To Extend Cell’s Lifespan (Slow the Aging Process)
Aging. We all face it. Nobody’s immune and we’ve long tried to reverse it, stop it or just even slow it down. While advances have been made, true age-reversal at a cellular level remains difficult to achieve. By taking a different approach, however, researchers at Houston Methodist made a surprising discovery leading to the development of technology with the ability … Continue reading
