New research has found virus-like genetic materials, called Obelisks, hitherto unnoticed by the scientific community.
According to the authors of new research, including Stanford University biologist Ivan Zheludev, the makeup of the material doesn’t bear similarities with any other biological agents, which has led them to believe that Obelisks could provide a link between simple genetic molecules and viruses.
The research was uploaded to bioRxiv. Writing in the paper, the authors said: "Obelisks comprise a class of diverse RNAs that have colonized, and gone unnoticed in, human, and global microbiomes.”
The fact they’ve gone undetected for so long could be due to their tiny size. Obelisks' genetic sequences are only around 1,000 characters in total, which even on a microscopic scale is pretty small. The study analysed 5.4 million datasets of genetic sequences and one set of research in the study also found that Obelisks turned up in half of the patients’ oral samples. The authors also suggest that Obelisks could be present in different parts of the human body.
Mirror Mirror" has been iconic, and known for decades, but a knew TikTok has shocked many after the user suggested that it was never "Mirror Mirror", but rather "Magic Mirror."
If you're as confused as us, you're not alone.
TikTok creator @wordwaster333 who showed a clip from the film where the Evil Queen says "Magic Mirror" asked: "Are we in some parallel universe?"
