SCIENTISTS HAVE sequenced the complete genetic code of an Irish person for the first time. The 3.1 billion sub-units of DNA that comprise the human genome were mapped by a team from the Conway Institute at University College Dublin, using advanced sequencing technology.
The landmark study, due to be published in the online journal Genome Biology , provides the first complete genetic picture of the Irish branch of the European ancestral tree.

Scientists are reading the genomes of many species to understand how life forms differ from each other, and why they become diseased. Unravelling the differences between the Irish genome and other population groups may yield vital clues as to why Irish people are more susceptible to certain diseases, such as cystic fibrosis.
The UCD team, led by professor of comparative genomics Brendan Loftus, used DNA from an anonymous Irish male with a confirmed Irish ancestry of three generations.

Will further work reveal the genetic marker to such familiar traits as latent begrudgery, the inability to say 'out to get locked' instead of 'just going for one'....?

They should work on finding the Ginger Gene next. Should be easier with the Irish Gene discovered.

yup, next step is developing a vaccine for ginger.

You left out the bit containing these markers:

The study uncovered some three million genetic variants in the Irish genome compared to a reference genome. Though most of the variation has been seen in other population groups, some 13 per cent, corresponding to about 300,000 variations in genome steps, had not been recorded before.

6% begrudgery and 7% inability to say 'out to get locked'.

Laugh now, but you won't be laughing when we take over the world.
Why do you think we have been sending Irish people around the world for the past few centuries?

As soon as we have a high enough percentage of people with Irish blood and the ginger gene, we will strike.

The first to die will be those who insist on posting about how they would like to get rid of gingers at every opportunity. Next up will be those who reference South Park.

Can we also get rid of people who use the word irregardless.

Really? I always thought it was this fella

Besides I think Wayne would have prob turned out better if his parents had been Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead. Delightful couple.

I'll be interested when they repress the gene that promotes the fallacy that Irish people need to drink ten times the amount that's necessary.

Amplifying the cop on gene would help too

We will succeed where Hitler failed. That pussy only went after European minorities. We'll be going after everyone who isn't ginger.

is there a gene that compels people to vote Fiana Fail?

that's the only excuse I can think of.

Can we afford to set evolution back again? :P

I wonder who the Irish fella was.

Must be a bit freaky having your entire genetic code out there for scientists to study.

Don't worry.
We'll only be killing the less evolved people. Anyone who hasn't evolved to the higher plateau that is being ginger.

This new data will provide us with the information to determine if you are capable of bearing ginger offspring. You may yet be saved.

We never died out.
We just sneakily evolved alongside homosapiens, until we surpassed them on the evolutionary scale.
They are not evolved enough to realise that we are their superiors.

Punch magazine had us figured out in the 1840's, but we turned that around by inventing political correctness, and making them look like racists.
We're ahead of you at every turn.

How sneaky of you, making yourselfs appear weak and pityful with your easily burnt pale skin and freckles :pac:

Why do you think we moved from the North of Spain to Ireland?
We knew that the ice age was coming to an end, and that Spain would become too sunny for us to pretend we get sun burn really easily.

We had to appear weak, so as not to seem threatening to homosapiens.
The whole 800 years thing; that was us. A few lives had to be sacrificed, but it was all part of the bigger plan.
The great depression; Joseph Kennedy, one of our own, was responsible for that
The current recession; Again, that was us. We needed to bolster the troops by sending more of us abroad. Morale has been low due to the percieved decline of the ginger gene. This myth was perpetrated by our enemies in China. They know they will soon fall to us, so they are pumping out this propaganda. Some of the sleeper cells had started to believe it, so we created a reason for more emigration.

Did you also rig every Oscar night and make Steve Guttenberg a star?

We do rig the oscars, but we're not responsible for Guttenberg.
Again, so as not to appear threatening, we allow homosapiens into our secret societies. We give them a little bit of play so that they don't become suspicious. Dubya is the man behind Guttenberg. He loved those Police Academy flims.

You, Garfield (the fat furry f#cker), and three quarters of the traveller population after the rest of us? Good luck with that:D
