Text of artical which appeared inthe Brittish journal "Nature",Vol. 323.25, September 1986.Mystery Object Amid The Chromosomes____________
_______________________ Sir - The very thin object shownbelow like a fragmented crosswordin appearence, was recently foundin one of our rou
tine chromosomepreparations for prenatal diagnosisfollowing aminiocentisis. But whatis it? Is it a man made device? Packingtext as binary c
oded information onthe miniature scale (the scale baris 10 micro-milimeters) would seemadvantageous. Or is it a naturallyoccuring substance?
None of thepossibilities we have been able tothink of would seem to be appro-priate to amniotic fluid, so ifanybody is able to suggest anan
swer to this mystery we wouldlike to have it.We are as intrigued as we areignorant. John Wolstenholme Ian Harlow
