DNA is fascinating, and we stand to learn so much about who we are, where we came from, and what we are capable of (biologically speaking) from its study.

 

Our capabilities in particular have yet to be studied in-depth by the mainstream scientific community.

 

Yet the study of phenomena like the placebo effect, distant healing, telepathy, and the physical impacts of human intention, not to mention the Mind-Body connection, has yielded statistically significant results which have been available in 'reputable peer reviewed journals' for decades.

How does this relate to DNA?

 

Well, there are many codes in our DNA that scientists have yet to crack. Parts of our DNA, for example have no known biological function, or at least we have yet to discover them. Maybe they have spiritual applications, or are connected to the non-physical realm in some way.

 

These seemingly useless DNA are referred to as 'Junk DNA,' or 'non-coding DNA.'

 

But we are learning more about them each day, as Scientific American reports, so the label isn't entirely accurate.

We may think we know a lot, but the things we think we know and hold to be true are always changing. Science was no less valid to us 50 years ago than it is today, but theories have changed because we have learned more.

 

And our knowledge of DNA has just changed again, as physicists have confirmed that there is a second layer of information hidden in our DNA, meaning that there is more than one way that DNA mutations can affect us.

The way DNA folds plays a role in controlling which genes are expressed inside of our bodies. When it comes to biology, we're taught that DNA 'makes us who we are' through a sequence of letters. These codes would then determine which proteins to make in order to produce the necessary result.

 

For example, there is a code for a protein that will make your skin brown, or your eyes dark, etc.

 

All of this is determined by the way DNA is folded. Since the DNA in our body is extremely long, spanning a length of up to two meters, it has to be wrapped and folded in a certain way to fit inside of our bodies.

Scientists have known for a long time that the way it is wrapped and folded determines what proteins are expressed. Right now, biologists are currently working on isolating mechanical cues that determine how DNA is folded, which is influenced by a number of environmental factors, and other concepts like epigenetics.

 

Even the way we think and perceive the environment, how feel, and what we believe can shape our DNA.
 

Some of these mechanical cues have been identified by a group of scientists at Leiden University in the Netherlands.

 

Led by Helmut Schiessel, they were, as Science Alert explains,

"able to show that these cues affected how the DNA was folded and which proteins are expressed – further evidence that the mechanics of DNA are written into our DNA, and they're just as important in our evolution as the code itself."

The discovery suggests that one day, we may be able to manipulate the mechanisms that determine the way DNA is folded in order to hide certain genes that produce deadly disease.

Is the Genetic 'Tweaking' of Humans on Its Way/Already Here?

 

Genetic manipulation is already occurring, and in fact we recently published an article about the first human being to have their DNA manipulated to make their white blood cells 20 years younger (you can read more about that here).

 

And all my research into black budget programs suggests that human genetic engineering is already happening to further militaristic agendas.

 

The evidence for the existence of multiple super soldier programs and other, equally frightening projects is compelling, but that's a discussion for another article, as is the black budget topic that's linked above.

 

Today, it's hard to know what's real and what's not, and it's unfortunate that it takes a mainstream media outlet to acknowledge something before the masses consider it to be real. That's a tremendous amount of power to hold, and we know the media has been corrupted by financial, corporate and other elitist agendas.

 

It really is fascinating to imagine what we may be capable of. Perhaps one day we will eradicate all disease by learning how to manipulate our genetics, turning certain genes on and others off, even discovering new ones.

 

What if there is already an intelligent extraterrestrial civilization out there somewhere in the universe which has learned to tweak their DNA so they can live for hundreds of years?

 

The future of genetic manipulation holds endless possibilities, and while many people worry about the consequences of us playing God, I argue that perhaps these types of discoveries were just waiting there for us to stumble upon, and our natural progression toward these discoveries was all part of 'the plan,' if there is one.

 

Perhaps we create it ourselves.

 

One thing is for certain though - as with any new discovery, it does not matter what we find or what technology we develop, it's the consciousness and intention behind how we use this knowledge that matters.

 

Our history of innovation has been consistently marred by violence and the misuse of power, so I can only hope we are approaching a more peaceful era at this stage of our development.

Leiden theoretical physicists have proven that DNA mechanics, in addition to genetic information in DNA, determines who we are.

 

Helmut Schiessel and his group simulated many DNA sequences and found a correlation between mechanical cues and the way DNA is folded. They have published their results (Multiplexing Genetic and Nucleosome Positioning Codes - A Computational Approach) in PLoS One.

When James Watson and Francis Crick identified the structure of DNA molecules in 1953, they revealed that DNA information determines who we are. The sequence of the letters G, A, T and C in the famous double helix determines what proteins are made ny our cells.

 

If you have brown eyes, for example, this is because a series of letters in your DNA encodes for proteins that build brown eyes. Each cell contains the exact same letter sequence, and yet every organ behaves differently.

 

How is this possible?
 

 

 


Mechanical cues

Since the mid 1980s, it has been hypothesized that there is a second layer of information on top of the genetic code consisting of DNA mechanical properties.

 

Each of our cells contains two meters of DNA molecules, and these molecules need to be wrapped up tightly to fit inside a single cell. The way in which DNA is folded determines how the letters are read out, and therefore which proteins are actually made.

 

In each organ, only relevant parts of the genetic information are read.

 

The theory suggests that mechanical cues within the DNA structures determine how preferentially DNA folds.
 

 

 


Simulation

For the first time, Leiden physicist Helmut Schiessel and his research group provide strong evidence that this second layer of information indeed exists.

 

With their computer code, they have simulated the folding of DNA strands with randomly assigned mechanical cues. It turns out that these cues indeed determine how the DNA molecule is folded into so-called nucleosomes.

 

Schiessel found correlations between the mechanics and the actual folding structure in the genome of two organisms—baker's yeast and fission yeast.

 

This finding reveals evolutionary changes in DNA - mutations - that have two very different effects:

The letter sequence encoding for a specific protein can change, or the mechanics of the DNA structure can change, resulting in different packaging and levels of DNA accessibility, and therefore differing frequency of production of that protein.
