DNA Originating From Space - Is the Universe a Nursery For All Living Things ?.mpg

"We believe early life may have adopted nucleobases from meteoritic fragments for use in genetic coding which enabled them to pass on their successful features to subsequent generations," said the leader of the study, Zita Martins of the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London.

The clip comes from a documentary series called - The Cell.

It was shown on BBC 4 a few months ago..

I will probably be uploading more clips from it in the future.. sometime.

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) uses silica gel to isolate the purine and pyrimidine bases. In his case, Uracil. The most significant thing is the meteorite had C-13 rather than C-12 which predominates in Earth's soil, so it does not appear that contamination of the sample could explain this.

Thanks for this.

Very misleading title. This is very far from DNA origiating form space. Espcially with the evidence in this video. But of course how else will you get people to click your video if you dont have cute half truth titles right =p

only 443 views??!!! It shows how the greatest things are always hidden in plain sight! The public is slowly getting prepared for the disclosure of first microbial life outside of planet Earth

Awesome video! Must be so amazing to be able to study meteorites from space. Thanks for posting! :)

[ancestralblue]

Kind of confirms that we come from the stars.

This is really fascinating, thanks for uploading this : D
