Light-Sabre Gene Found

Light-Sabre Gene Found

By Ben Canobee
Sydney Genetics Institute, Australia.

This is a brief description of new molecular technique using a Functional Oligonucleotide Reverse Constriction Enzyme, FORCE.

This enzyme recognizes and cuts DNA at the following particular sequence of nucleotides:


5' AT-AT 3'
3' AT-AT 5'

The fragments, which contain a carbonite (C3PO) link, were separated by gel electrophoresis, and sequenced for the first time (see picture above), with exciting new findings.

The newly identified gene is linked to increased strength and speed, uncanny thinking and the ability to move objects with a single thought. We have named it the ‘light-sabre’ gene.
