We don’t just have chunks of lizard DNA sitting around waiting to be expressed.
To say that our DNA is the same is misleading at best. All forms of life use only 5 nucleotides to form DNA and RNA, G, C, A, T, and U. From the lowliest amoeba to the guy on the train next to you.
DNA manipulation is possible in the future, but it would more than likely have to occur in (not to get all Bioshock on y’all) form of plasmids, which is how we can get Bacteria to express certain genes without directly putting it onto their DNA (which they’ll actually do fairly readily). [/quote]
Well to clarify, a strand of DNA is extremely long. Approxamately 220 million base paris, or the little rungs of the DNA ladder for laymen. Our DNA is about 60% identical to a reptiles, which means in the DNA sequence, 60% of the 220 million base pairs are identical.

Coding’s the same, it’s the number and sequence of genes and chromosomes that’s different.

Imagine altering your own DNA so that you change some physical aspects, for instance, perhaps you tweak a DNA segment which allows a Grizzly bear to reach a massive size with dense bones and whatnot. Then say you tweaked another gene that gave you touch armor plating like an armadillo. You wouldn’t be a human anymore, you would be something else, a new species. you also wouldn’t be able to produce offspring unless a female had the exact same procedure[/quote]
If you only change the odd gene here or there then you can still breed with a normal human. It’s when your chromosomes don’t match it goes wrong. Chimps have an extra chromosome compared to humans, otherwise interbreeding would work.

This thing about reptiles living amongst ain’t new, and this dude David Icke, runs around making oodles of money lecturing (gullible) people about alien reptiles among us.

Stay tuned. I will bring up some really gruesome stuff in my next post (tomorrow or late next week) in this forum. And as always EVERYTHING you’re reading about/watching is 100% real.
As am I for that matter.

I really think you are onto something here. This has really opened my eyes. I did not realise that the internet could reveal such truths. This has shaken my whole belief system. I can only thank you for sharing this with all of us. For you non believers, you are in DENIAL. Open your EYES.
I suggest we start a fund to promote and educate. Trubunaldude, I would like to volunteer to set up a fund to do just that. Please PM me with your credit card number, bank account number and passwords and I will get a transfer going. Or you can just forward funds to my Nigerian account.
PEOPLE LISTEN! THIS MUST BE TRUE BECAUSE IT IS IN CAPTIALS AND IF I WERE SMART ENOUGH I WOULD WORK OUT HOW TO MAKE IT BOLD AS WELL!!!
I’ve this chart in my cellular biology printouts which says that of the human genome:
Genes that are specific to humans: 1 % – actually 0% according to most recent research
Genes that are specific to vertebrates (immune system & advanced CNS): 22%
Genes that are specific to eumetazoa (communication between cells, programmed cell death, ontogeny): 24%
Genes that are specific to eukaryotes (cell structure & multiplication) 32%
Genes that are specifit to both prokaryotes and eukaryotes (basic functions of cells): 21%
What really set the species apart is gene expression: only a small part of the genome actually codes proteins or other products. Wikipedia says: “In fact, only about 1.5% of the genome codes for proteins, while the rest consists of non-coding RNA genes, regulatory sequences, introns, and (controversially named) “junk” DNA.”
Mutations are mostly harmless, don’t actually happen it part of DNA that shows up, or end up killing the organism. Of course, if this said mutation ends up actually making the organism stay alive longer and reproduce better than its friends, it might become prevalent.
THIS IS TRUE ONLY IF MY MEMORY SERVER ME CORRECTLY: What humans have been able to achieve (through altering the genome) has been mostly spotting one gene and changing it, in much simpler organisms than humans. Adding characteristics of animals to humans or making combined animals is not possible in the near future: you can’t just switch genes or make parts of it active again: we’d only end up with something that doesn’t stay alive. Meaning the cells wouldn’t divide, not that we’d get a baby giraflion that just dies young. Nature doesn’t do this, either: the odds are just that bad.
I’m actually studying to be an engineer, so don’t blame me if I screwed something up there.

meet the mule.
see also: ligers and tigrons.
as long as there is a surrogate that won’t abort the fetus, i’d say subtle genetic manipulation is plausible.
you’re not going to get any giraflions straight out of the gates, but given a long enough timeline, then yeah.
Haha, you got me! Yes, there are some species that we classify as different species which are still capable of producing an offspring, sometimes even and offspring capable of breeding.
What we can’t do is dig out the part of the genome of a lion which would make it have liger-like characteristics, nor does it happen in the nature, spontaneously.
all very cool stuff, although when they say they “developed” they’re making themselves sound a lot more important than they really are. They basically sat around and pointed at the most albino of the albino’s and said, “yeah, this one and this one. they should breed.”
Hey Trib.dude, I know about what your talking about, I’ve studied this and many other psedo-scientific topics. But you cant get other people to understand unless they experience something “otherworld” in the own life. The modern medical community and scientific communities are currupt!! There is so much going on in the world, it’s impossible to grasp it all.
On the other hand you’ve got to realize there is a lot more fake shit out there on the web then there is real.But that does not mean everything strange is fake.
I agree with usctrojansfan. People need to be prepared for unexpected things within the next few years, and I’m not talking about any 2012 bullshit, or any other Gov. Propaganda to scare you into submission. It’s the Gov. you need to beware, and all the things going on behind the curtain of mainstream media. Wake up people.

Most of the extraneous DNA found in introns, like ssplit said, is jumbled and useless anyway. To say that we share some percent of DNA means nothing about their order or activation sites for transcription, etc. My point was that we don’t have readily available chunks of DNA together waiting to be translated into lizard proteins. Order means everything, if the order of the nucleotides is shifted even one spot over it can have devastating effects on gene expression.

Or they just have real problems to deal with like the myriad of illnesses that affect the human body or gasp working on REAL SCIENCE.
I don’t know which is worse, this or the Morgellon’s folks I read about a few weeks ago.
The internet is a breeding ground for misinformation and paranoia.
