PARIS, July 21. Researchers from France have discovered a giant virus alien origin. He was in one of the deep-water amoebas and amazed by its size, ten times exceeding any of the existing on Earth.
Giant was given the name “Pandora”. Discoverers of the virus claim that it is completely safe for humans.
It all started with the fact that a group of researchers took samples of water off the coast of Chile and from the pond in Australia. Then the water added antibiotics to kill the bacteria, and in samples where no more bacteria, amoebae added. When single-celled organisms died, the researchers saw that the samples remained something of non-bacterial origin. Thus was discovered unikalnyyvirus. The composition of its genes by only 6% identical to the earth, the other 94% – clearly extraterrestrial proiskhozhdeniya.Vsego virus contains 2,556 genes.
“Pandora” is so large that it can be viewed even under a microscope school – virus dimensions exceed 1000 nm, whereas viruses of the earth are within the range of 10 to 500 nanometers.
According to scientists, the virus is likely to have an extraterrestrial origin. It can only reproduce inside a “host.” In the course of the “life” viruses devastate cells, absorbing proteins and DNA. With the destruction of the core “besieged” cells “Pandora” is reproduced in hundreds of copies.
“The discovery of giant viruses compared with the opening of Pandora’s box. We can not even imagine what will happen after the biology of how we study them more”, – quotes the discoverer, Dr. Jean-Michel Claverie Israel’s Channel Nine television.
Currently, researchers are trying to find out the origin of the “Pandora”. Most of them believe that the giant virus could be brought to Earth from another planet, such as Mars. The skeptics are inclined to believe that the virus is actually not new, but very old. It was his ancient lineage explains the fact that scientists can not yet explain its genetic makeup.
