Where can we find the Word Gene?

DNA fingerprinting was first begun to be adapted for criminal investigation purposes in Brittain around 1980. Thomas Beacon's research was based on these files.
  DNA has been called the biological equivalent to fingerprints. It is essentially an extremely complex chemical with four sub-units (bases). These bases may combine in various proportions to form molecules called nucleotides. There are approximately 3 billion nucleotides per cell nucleus. They are all linked in a chainlike double-helix in an near-immeasurable variety of arrangements.
As with every person, each arrangement is unique, the only exception being the case of identical twins. Every cell in the body possesses this same arrangement. Different segments of the chain are responsible for different characteristics in a person's make-up, such as eye or hair colour.
One advantage to DNA typing is that DNA is not just found in blood, but anywhere white blood cells are found. Including in body fluids, skin, hair root follicles, and saliva. It is actually easiest to obtain a DNA sample, sot from blood, but from the inside of the cheek where epitherial cells are quite loose.

  DNA is also surprisingly durable. Under certain conditions it can survive for thousands of years, though it deteriorates when exposed to radiation, such as sunlight. For this reason, scientists have been able to extract DNA from ancient Egyptian mummies. It also sparked the Jurassic Park scenario wherein dinosaur DNA is extracted from preserved mosquitos in order to recreate the ancient beasts.
A new technique the FBI is experimenting with, called polymerase chain reaction, allows experts to amplify and duplicate portions of the DNA chain in order to create a clear profile from a single cell. There is much more work to be done, but that is evident in every aspect of the DNA field, so much of its potential is yet to be understood. The Missing Gene Project database is just now beginning to be compiled, but even in its fledgling state it has already greatly contributed to many sciences.

Beacon believed that parrots in particular carry a gene extremely similar to the human Word Gene D2433. But, more scientific research is needed in this area.

In this case, the red crosses clearly show us that the Word gene D2433 is missing in primates.










  The image on the right gives us a clear picture of Sir Thomas Beacon's discovery. The gene charts are from a father (F), a mother (M) and their two siblings (S1, S2). Sibling2 doesn't carry the Word Gene D2433, but has no problem with speaking. In comparison with Sibling1, there were no differences found in the intellectual and verbal developement of the child.

  The only conclusion that Thomas Beacon could conjure up is that human beings are incredibly skilled copy cats. And, more enigmatic, that primates, taking into consideration the organization of their brains, CAN be taught to speak like human beings, but until now, they have refused to speak our language. For some reason our ancestors don't like us very much, at least not enough to put an effort in communicating with us with their voices.

  A lot of research has to be done yet, especially on parrots and other 'talking' birds, and on all the animals in their natural environment. The Missing Gene Project by The Somniloquy Institute aims to contribute to and unravel the mystery of our speaking ability. The D2433scan© is developed to do just that. Thousands of gene charts will be stored in a giant databank and will hopefully lead to clear answers about our evolutionary process, the suggested presence of a symbiotic relationship of a 'word virus' in humans, primates and perhaps much more animals than we know of, and most of all the differences between human beings themselves, with and without carrying the Word Gene.

  Therefore we would like to invite you to have your DNA scanned at this very moment. As long as you follow the instructions carefully (especially those concerning hygiene) the test is 100% save and 100% anonymus. It will only take a couple of minutes of your time. You can enter the test here.

Thank you for you interest and your time.
