Yes I am at it again, because this could void the whole "race argument" , as I think that the current human species could very well be the result of genetic manipulations that have occurred prior the cataclysm which many alternative researchers assert to have happened 12K years ago or so.
However, the above assumption starts with a real question here: why are they doing this?

just another PROOF that academia cannot be trusted.

Personal genomes: The case of the missing heritability
2008. When scientists opened up the human genome, they expected to find the genetic components of common traits and diseases. But they were nowhere to be seen. http://www.nature.com/news/2008/081105/full/456018a.html

Just one gram of DNA can store the equivalent of 14,000 Blu-ray discs.
Potential for DNA to be used for data storage has been discussed for years
But retrieving the data encoded in the genes has previously proved tricky
Inspired by fossils, researchers from Zurich encased DNA in a 'fossil shell'
They subjected these shells - or silica spheres - to extreme temperatures
This was carried out to mimic chemical degradation seen naturally on DNA
Despite the conditions, the DNA was extracted and decoded from the silica
And if preserved in freezing temperatures, the researchers said the data has the potential to last for 'millions of years' inside DNA
But although the potential for DNA as an alternative to hard drives has been known about for years, it is not the most reliable and secure way to keep data safe.
The latest breakthrough could be about to change that, however.
Chemists subjected spheres of DNA to extreme temperatures designed to mimic chemical degradation and found the material - and the data stored on it - could be successfully decoded.
The research was led by Robert Grass from ETH Zurich's Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences.
'DNA lends itself to this task as it can store large amounts of information in a compact manner,' said the researchers.
'Unfortunately, the data is not always retrievable error-free: gaps and false information in the encoded data arise through chemical degradation and mistakes in DNA sequencing.
'[We] have revealed how the long-term, error-free storage of information can be achieved, potentially for more than a million years.'
In 2013, researchers demonstrated that data could be saved and read from DNA, but during tests the time between 'writing' the information and reading, or sequencing it, was relatively short............ MORE
