NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Ancient Technology Activation gene

In the science fiction television series Stargate Atlantis and Stargate SG-1, the Ancient Technology Activation Gene (usually spoken as the ATA Gene), is a specific gene expression present in Ancients that is used as a sort of "genetic key", so only their kind can operate some of their technology, specifically the most powerful devices (similar to how certain Goa'uld technology requires naqahdah in the user's bloodstream). A broadcast of the long-running and popular British science-fiction series Doctor Who. ... Stargate Atlantis is an American science fiction television program, part of the Stargate franchise. ...

Overview

According to Dr. Beckett, who discovered the existence of this gene, the ATA gene is always activated, instructing various cells in the body to produce a series of proteins and enzymes that interact with the skin, the nervous system and the brain, allowing the gene carriers to operate Ancient technology ^[1].A small percentage of humans from Earth have this gene, as well as an infinitesimal percentage on at least one planet in the Pegasus Galaxy ^[2]. Dr. Carson Beckett was the Scottish chief medical doctor portrayed by Paul McGillion in the television series Stargate Atlantis. ... Adjectives: Terrestrial, Terran, Telluric, Tellurian, Earthly Atmosphere Surface pressure: 101. ... Holographic map of the Pegasus Galaxy. ...

Some Ancient technology only needs to be "activated" by someone possessing this gene, and then remains usable by those without the gene afterward.Some other technology, however, can't be used by someone without the gene (for example, only those with the ATA gene can pilot the Puddle Jumpers). ^[1] In the Stargate science fiction universe, the Puddle Jumper is a small craft capable of space travel created by the Ancients. ...

Not all gene carriers, however, can use the gene in the same way. For most of them, it requires training and practice^[1], but a few (like Col. Sheppard and Maj. Gen. Jack O'Neill) can do it easily and intuitively (in fact, this is why Dr. Weir insisted that Sheppard be part of the Atlantis expedition). Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard is an Air Force officer played by Joe Flanigan in the television series Stargate Atlantis. ... John J. Jack ONeill (born October 20, 1952)[1] is a fictional character in the science fiction feature film Stargate and the subsequent television series Stargate SG-1 played by actors Kurt Russell in the film (name spelled as ONeil) and Richard Dean Anderson in the series. ... This article needs to be updated. ...

Later, Dr. Beckett develops an in vivo retroviral gene therapy (using a deactivated mouse retrovirus) to transfer the Ancient gene expression to humans^[3]; however, only about 48% of those who undergo the procedure are rewarded with the ATA gene ^[4].In reality, there has been experimentation with in vivo retroviral gene therapy, but despite some success (e.g. in treatment of lung cancer), it's believed to be extremely dangerous, with serious side effects including leukemia.^{[citation needed]} In vivo (Latin for (with)in the living). ... Genera Alpharetrovirus Betaretrovirus Gammaretrovirus Deltaretrovirus Epsilonretrovirus Lentivirus Spumavirus A retrovirus is any virus belonging to the viral family Retroviridae. ... Gene therapy is the insertion of genes into an individuals cells and tissues to treat a disease, and hereditary diseases in particular. ... Lung cancer is the malignant transformation and expansion of lung tissue, and is the most lethal of all cancers worldwide, responsible for 1. ... Leukemia or leukaemia (see spelling differences) is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow and is characterized by an abnormal proliferation (production by multiplication) of blood cells, usually white blood cells (leukocytes). ...

It hasn't yet been clearly explained what the exact source of the ATA gene is.It has been variously theorized by fans to be the result of deliberate experimentation on humans by the Ancients, or due to human/Ancient crossbreeding in the distant past.The fact that the only known planet in Pegasus with natural ATA carriers was home to an Ancient city supports either of the theories.

Aiden Ford controversy

Lt. Aiden Ford asked for the gene therapy during the nanovirus crisis ^[4], but it was never said if he got it after the crisis or not. That's the reason there was some doubt among fans about if Lt. Ford had or not the gene after he used a Puddle Jumper to run away from Atlantis in "The Siege, Part 3" ^[16]. In a message in Gateworld forums ^[17] series' writer Martin Gero explained that Ford does not have the gene, that "The Jumpers, while in near and inside Atlantis, are pretty much on autopilot when it comes to landing and taking off." Lieutenant Aiden Ford is an USMC officer played by Rainbow Sun Francks on television show Stargate Atlantis. ... Martin Gero is a writer and Co-Prouder on Stargate Atlantis. ...
