More of human DNA is active
than was thought

Scientists have published the most detailed analysis to date of the human genome.

They've discovered a far larger chunk of our genetic code is biologically active than previously thought.

The researchers hope the findings will lead to a deeper understanding of numerous diseases, which could lead to better treatments.

More than 400 scientists in 32 laboratories in the UK, US, Spain, Singapore and Japan were involved.

Their findings are published in 30 connected open-access papers appearing in three journals, Nature, Genome Biology and Genome Research.

The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (Encode) was launched in 2003 with the goal of identifying all the functional elements within the human genome.

A pilot project looking at 1% of the genome was published in 2007.

Now the Encode project has analysed all three billion pairs of genetic code that make up our DNA.

They have found 80% of our genome is performing a specific function.

Up to now, most attention has been focused on protein-coding genes, which make up just 2% of the genome.

Junk DNA

Genes are small sections of DNA that contain instructions for which chemicals - proteins - they should produce.

The Encode team analysed the vast area of the genome sometimes called "junk DNA" because it seemed to have little function and was poorly understood.

Dr Ewan Birney, of the European Bioinformatics Institute in Cambridge, who led the analysis, told me: "The term junk DNA must now be junked.

"It's clear from this research that a far bigger part of the genome is biologically active than was previously thought."

Switches

The scientists also identified four million gene "switches". These are sections of DNA that control when genes are switched on or off in cells.

They said the switches were often a long way along the genome from the gene they controlled.

Dr Birney said: "This will help in our understanding of human biology. Many of the switches we have identified are linked to changes in risk for conditions from heart disease to diabetes or mental illness. This will give researchers a whole new world to explore and ultimately, it's hoped, will lead to new treatments."

Scientists acknowledge that it is likely to be many years before patients see tangible benefits from the project.

But another of the Encode team, Dr Ian Dunham said the data could ultimately be of help in every area of disease research.

"Encode gives us a set of very valuable leads to follow to discover key mechanisms at play in health and disease. Those can be exploited to create entirely new medicines, or to repurpose existing treatments."

Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute director Prof Mike Stratton said the results were "remarkable" and would "stand as a foundation stone for human biology for many years".

He added: "The Encode project will change the way many researchers conduct their science and give those who seek to understand disease a much better grasp of where genetic variation can affect our genome for ill."

"..... DNA - A Quantum Force 

Now let me take you to the very small. Over a decade ago, Vladimir Poponin, a Russian scientist, used light in an experiment with one molecule of DNA. Through this experiment, he discovered a multidimensional field around DNA. Light patterned itself into a mathematical equation [sine wave] when DNA was present. He discovered that DNA had a quantum field. Not only that, it was a quantum field somehow filled with information. How else could the field pattern light into a sine wave? Now, this came from a quantum biologist, not Kryon. Yet there are many who doubt this experiment ever happened, since it shows something that no Human expected. There are those who simply don't wish to look at the fact that real quantum biologists did a real experiment! They chose to relegate all that information to the new age and not to science. It's always interesting what Humans do with science, isn't it? If it doesn't fit the 3D model of their reality, then they deny it exists.

When the full Human genome was transcribed, every single chemical in it was seen. The numbers are shocking, for in a molecule that is so small you cannot see it without an electron microscope, there are more than 3 billion chemicals! The double helix is more complex than you know. This molecule is small enough to be qualified to be in a quantum state, and Vladimir Poponin showed that it actually had a field around it, even a single DNA molecule.

Those who did the Human Genome Project wanted to know how the 3 billion chemicals of DNA create more than 26,000 genes of the Human body. By the way, there are more genes than that, but I'm using the scientists' numbers, not mine. So this is what they were interested in. They did not see DNA in a quantum state. They were not looking for that, even though the very science of DNA shouts with logic that it has to be quantum. They weren't looking for that. Instead, they counted chemicals and looked for codes, and they found them in a very odd arrangement.

They discovered that of the 3 billion chemicals in the DNA double helix, all the genes were being created in the protein-encoded parts of DNA. Three and a half percent of DNA was creating all the genes. More than 90% of the chemical makeup of DNA seemed to be random. It did absolutely nothing - that they could see or understand. Even to this day, science does not see the obvious, that the 90% is quantum and the 3.5% is linear.

Today, your quantum physicists are often dealing with ten dimensions plus time (11 dimensions) in the most popular kind of multi-dimensional physics, string theory. If you began to ask them about what this all looks like, they would say the words, "chaos" and "random patterning." For this is the way that quantum fields work. They are filled with potentials instead of absolutes, and they vary depending on many factors... including Human consciousness. Someday there will be the realization there is a strong possibility that DNA, although a biological molecule, is in a quantum state. This will break the rules of "size" in a quantum state. For it actually is "mostly quantum," and even affects the spin of the atoms that enter its field. Then the next obvious question will occur: "What information is in the ninety percent of DNA that is quantum?"

Now we get to the core truth, don't we? So I will tell you. The ninety percent of DNA which is quantum, is filled with information, both esoteric and timeless. It is a quantum blueprint for everything you are and have been since you arrived on the planet the first time. DNA contains instruction sets for your life; everything from your full Akashic Record - every single lifetime you have had - to the benevolent creator's fingerprint within the seeds of creation itself. Every single talent you ever had is there, even if you don't have any of those today... the record is there. Every predisposition of weakness and strength are there. Biologically, every single instruction to every single stem cell is there.

Did you ever wonder where stem cells get their "information" to make the Human Being? It's in the 90% of your DNA, and it's all quantum. Why do some quantum DNA contain instructions to create weaker bodies? Why is it that some predispositions for disease are there? Now I'm giving you this information so that you will understand something that is coming next... perhaps the most important biological attribute ever presented. ..."

"DNA REVEALED" - Mar 13, 2010 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll) - (Text Version)

"...  DNA Teaching Continues....

DNA - The very letters ring with the complexity and chemistry of high biological science. In actuality, there is a lot more to it even than science sees, for it is doubtful that science will ever see what I'm about to tell you. There are components of your DNA and attributes that are simply unseeable in 3D. I have told you in the past that what is missing at this moment in scientific endeavor, which would literally change everything, is an instrument that would measure an interdimensional field. Once that instrument or scenario is developed, and it will be, it is the closest thing you'll ever have to proof of all that we speak of. For the instant that instrument is turned upon the various things of the planet, including Human biology, there will be revelation in science, everywhere. Energy that is invisible will appear, or will at least show its shadow. It will then be real, where at the moment it is only conjecture.

Interdimensionality is here today in so many ways. Gravity is an interdimensional force. Magnetism is an interdimensional force. Even light has components of it... all invisible and unexplainable to you at the moment. But like so many other things, you use it every day, and your bodies are also part of it.

Let me explain some things to you that enhance what I've already given. In order to do this, I must review. I will briefly review what I have given before so that I may expound upon it and give you things you have not yet heard.

The Review

To you and science, the very premise of DNA is bio-chemical. That is, what you have in your body, what you believe is responsible for the blueprint of life, is totally explainable by science through the chemistry and biological processes. But there are attributes within DNA that I wish to again discuss. There are interdimensional spiritual attributes within DNA that are quantum. The actual majority of the chemistry that you can see in the Human Genome is in a quantum state. Although your science cannot measure a quantum state at this time, nor the field around it, there is evidence of it within the puzzle of the Human Genome.

We have told you that the DNA in your body carries with it a tremendous amount of unseen information and energy. We speak of DNA as an entity, not as a chemical double helix. That is to say, 100 trillion loops of DNA all work together as one energy to be called "your DNA." This group is unique. It has to be, for it is absolutely, 100 percent you. Because of the quantumness of DNA, it can contain a huge part of your spirituality. This will be defined in the publication that my partner is working on now [Kryon Book Twelve]. Not only does DNA contain the record of all that you have been on the planet, but your relationship to Gaia as well. It contains all that you have ever done and the spirituality of what you've learned in every lifetime. This information is literally imprinted within it.

Now listen to me: Over eons, no Human ever loses any spiritual revelations they have ever had. Do you understand? With intent, any Human can awaken to the point at which their DNA holds what they've learned over all lifetimes. You awaken the DNA itself with your intent and epiphany of God inside. All of the spiritual things that you have learned will come flying back and be yours again. How could they not? You opened the door originally and you own them. This has to be good news to the individual who wonders what it's going to be like if he comes back. Will he have to start over? Will he have to go through the things again that he's gone through this lifetime? The answer is no. It remains free choice, and many lifetimes might go by without any kind of spiritual quest, but in this shift, many are beginning to "remember" who they are and what they know.

Some of you have actually said that you do not choose to come back again, for it has been difficult this time. There is an intrinsic, innate feeling to some of you that this is your last time. Yet I will tell you, dear ones, that this is what you said the last time! Here is what happens: The first thing that masters and old souls want to do when they arrive on the other side of the veil is come back... and that's you! Most of you will, and when you do, you will pick up where you left off, not restart. That's in the DNA. It's beautiful. The wisdom of the ages is imprinted within the DNA. It's quantum, and therefore huge. The crystal in the Cave of Creation stores this for you and activates your DNA when you return within a different Human body.

Isn't it interesting that now that humanity has seen the Human Genome, they see how unique it is? Isn't it interesting? DNA is totally unique. Not one Human Being has DNA like the other, not even identical twins. Only a fraction of it is identical in twins (less than 5%). But not the non-protein-encoded quantum parts. They are absolutely unique to each Human.

There is more. Within the DNA are attributes of the piece of God that you are. The imprint of the Higher-Self is there. The angelic name that I call you is there. That name is not a name in linearity or one spoken in the air with vibration. Instead, it is a name that we sing in light. And when it is spoken, it vibrates with majesty. That's the truth! Feel it! The imprint of who you really are is in there. You carry with you pieces and parts of the lineage from another planet and other areas of the Universe. The energy of those who helped seed you with humanity's spiritual portion are there as well [Pleiadian]. Appropriate, it is. Beautiful, it is. Loving, it is. All of that is there within your DNA, and in order for it to be there, it has to be a quantum energy.

Now, let us again speak of the 3D biology. When the Human Genome Project was finished, all the chemicals in the double helix had been identified. In that very, very small double helix, three billion chemical parts were then known and identified. It is so small that this DNA molecule must be seen via an electron microscope. So complex it is that it has three billion in chemical parts. Then the task began of identifying what the parts did, and science began to study the enormity of what was there. They were looking, indeed, for that which created more than 23,000 Human genes. So they looked for the coding, the linear protein coding, so that they could understand how these things worked.

Science had waited a long time to see "the blueprint in action," and they did. But the shock came when less than five percent of the DNA created genes. Indeed, they saw linearity and they saw the coding in the protein-encoded portion of DNA. This small portion created the genes, but the rest of it seemed to be random, even chaotic. More than 90 percent of DNA seemed to be scrambled and useless.

My partner talked about that today [in lecture] where a quantum state appears to be chaotic. It appears to be random, for there is no linearity to be discovered in a true quantum reality, none at all. One of the things that keeps you from seeing a quantum state is the linearity bias that you have in your 3D reality. So you, indeed, stare at that which is quantum, but to you the concept of what it might be is invisible. This DNA attribute of randomness could not be taken lightly, for science was looking at something that was unexplainable. Imagine, 90 percent of DNA seemed to do nothing at all! The biologists knew better, but there simply was no explanation at hand. ...."
