In 2003 we had a DNA analysis that used human-only primers to recover the Starchild's mitochondrial DNA, the DNA outside the nucleus, which comes from the mother and her genetic line. That meant its mother was human. But we could not recover its nuclear DNA, which comes from both mother and father, which meant its father was not a human. Unfortunately, with the recovery technology of 2003 we couldn't prove what he was, which left us in scientific limbo. The "no result" from the search for the nuclear DNA clearly meant Dad wasn't human, but we could not prove that fact beyond all possible doubt.
Now, in 2010, there have been many improvements in the recovery process, and those improvements have been applied to the Starchild skull with the stunning result you see below. This is a gel sheet that shows a clear recovery of its nuclear DNA, which could not be done in 2003.
The next two screen shots are taken from the national genetic database at the National Institute of Health, NIH. That public-access database is a centralized repository of all genetic information generated by geneticists all over the world, and now covers essentially all living organisms on Earth, from various kinds of viruses and bacteria, to various kinds of crustaceans and fish, to all kinds of animals and plants, including great apes and humans.
For many species, humans included, there are already nucleotide sequences covering entire genomes. Therefore, sequences from the Starchild's DNA can be directly compared against this vast database to look for any matches. In one such comparison below, you see the text below the blue line at the bottom (if you can read it, sorry it's so fuzzy) that 265 base pairs (a good length) of recovered Starchild nuclear DNA matches perfectly with a gene on human chromosome 1. This verifies beyond any degree of doubt that some of the nuclear DNA seen in the gel sheet is from a human being
In the one below, and again at the bottom, you see the stunning report that in a string of 342 base pairs (another good length), "No significant similarity (is) found." To recover a stretch of base pairs as long as that with NO reference in the NIH database is astounding because it means there is no known earthly corollary for what has been analyzed! This incredible anomaly will put the Starchild in history books!!!
I should add that I still can't reveal the name of the geneticist or where he works until we are ready to formally present his results to the world.
I'd have to agree...I wont make any conclusions at this point, but I'm leaning towards this never going anywhere...this will probably be the last we ever hear of this, just like everything else...for once, I would just like to see someone come through, and this would be great if it actually amounted to something...
on the fence; I'll give it a couple weeks...

G'day VneZonyDostupa
I read the "documentation" regarding the "unique fibre structures" inherent in the bony matrix of the skull.
www.starchildproject.com...
Have you read about that?
If so, do you have an opinion about it?
Kind regards

They tested the skull and found both Y and X chromosomes...don't children inherit the Y chromosomes from their fathers?

Ok yes. The Y DNA are used in analysis to determine family history. But apparently the ongoing research of this child could not find Human DNA in the father's chromosomes. Essentially, this child is human because of the mother. However, his father's DNA indicates daddy was not. So it is like a child conceived between 2 people of different cultural background. The child would inherit both features, eye color, skin color etc. based on both mom and dad. So because our technology can only analyze that of Human DNA (via this research and among other Earthly native things), the Y DNA could not be found relating anything Earthly. I hope that made sense. Really trying to get my point across amid a tired mind, lol.
