Do u believe in alient exist?Here are some intersting news that makes u beleive there is a alien.Here we go.
Its really hard to believe that theres is a test on a six -inch-long mummified skeleton from Chile confirms that it represents the remains of a newborn with multiple mutaions in key games.
Despite being the size of a foetus initial tests had suggested the bones were of a child aged six to eight.
These highly unusual features prompted feature prompted wild speculation about its origin.
Now,DNA testing indicates that the estimated age of the bones and other anomaliesmay have been a result of the genetic mutations.
Detail of the work have been published in the journal Genome Research.
In addition to its exceptionally small height,the skeleton had several unusual physical features such as fewer than expected ribs and cone-shaped head.
The remains were initially discovered in a pouch in the abondoned nitrate mining town of La-Noria.From there,they found their way into provate collection in Spain.
Some wondered whet
her the remains dubbed Ata after the Atacom region where they were dicsovered,could in fact be the remains of non-human primate.A documetary ,called Sirius,even suggested it could be evidence of alien visitations.
Genetic investigation:
The new research puts those ideas to rest .
A scientist team analysed the individual’s genome the genetic blueprint for a human,contained in the nucleus of cells.
They had already used this to confirm that the individual was a human.Now,the team has presented evidence that Ata was a female newborn with multiple mutaions in genes associated with dwarfism,scoliosis and abnormalities in the muscles and skeletons.
what was striking and caused us to speculated early on that there was something strange about the bones was the apparent maturity of the bones(density and shape).
said Garry Nolan,a professor of microbiology and immunology at the Stanford University School of Medicine in California.
He told BBC news :there was a proportionate maturation pf the bomes,making the body look more mature despite the fact that the specimam was itself small.This discrepancy drove much of the research.So,we believe that one or more of the mutated genes was responsible for this.
The result revealed four news single nucleotide variants(SNVs) a tyoe of genetics mutaions in genes that were known to cause bone diseases,like scoliosis or dislocation as well as two more SNVs in genes involved in producing collagen.
Ata also had 10 pairs of ribs,rather than 11-a features that has never been seen in human before.
She was so badly malformed as to be unable to feed.In her conditions,she would have endep up in the neonatal ICV
However,access to advanced medical care was probably unavailable in the remote Chilean region where she was found.The skeleton’s intact conditions suggests it may be no more than 40years old.
Future benefits:
Prof Nolan began scientific investigation of the Ata in 2012,when a friend called saying he might have found an “alien”
He explain that while this started as a story about aliens,and went international.Its really a story of a human tragedy.A woman had a malformed baby,it eas preserved in a manner and the hocked or sold.
The scientist said that future studies of Ata had the potential to improve our understanding of the underlyng basis of the genetic skeletal disorder with the potential to help other.
Analysing a puzzling sample like the Ata genome can teach us how to handle current medical samples,which may be driven by multiple mutations”said Atul Butte,director of the Institute for Computational Health Science at the University of California,San Francisco.
When we study the henome of the patients with unusual syndrome,there may be more than one gene or pathway involved genetically which is nit always considered.
Prof Nolan says further research into Ataprecious bone aging could one day benefits patients “maybe theres a way to accelerate bone growth in people who need it,people who have bad breaks”he said .nothing like this had been seen bedore certainly ,nobody had looked into genetics.
