Is this Chromosome the Wolverine Gene?
I'm fascinated by code. The most fascinating code is the code that makes life work. I'm going to sidestep into genetics here a bit and wonder for a while if humans may one day look a lot like a comic book character...
So, Wolverine, as in the X-Men character Wolverine, has these key traits:
All that sounds good, right? Wouldn't everyone like to be superhuman, get a longer lease on life, fewer trips to the doctor? Maybe Chromosome 11 has what we're looking for.
Maybe it is a bit like that. Chromosome 11 codes for:
And I don't know where anyone would find a chromosome that codes for the creation of Claws that jut out from between your finger bones... maybe that one is still hidden in the genome somewhere!

So, Wolverine, as in the X-Men character Wolverine, has these key traits:
- Heightened human senses of smell, hearing, and sight
- Rapid healing abilities - especially from normally mortal wounds.
- More energy than normal - I'm making an assumption here based on when he goes Berserk
- Longer life expectancy
- Super Agility - Strength, speed, and coordination are all heightened
All that sounds good, right? Wouldn't everyone like to be superhuman, get a longer lease on life, fewer trips to the doctor? Maybe Chromosome 11 has what we're looking for.
| Chromosome 11 |
Maybe it is a bit like that. Chromosome 11 codes for:
- Super Smell - About 40% of the genes that make up our sense of smell
- Super Senses - PAX6 - Master control of creation of sensory organs
- Super Energy - Production of AcetylCoA for energy production
- Super Healing - MMP7 - Wound healing and scar reduction
- Super Senses II - BDNF - Nerve growth factor critical for balance, coordination, hearing, taste, and the sympathetic nervous system
- Blood Cell Creation - Beta Hemoglobin. Creating red blood cells. If you have a mutation here, you may get Sicle Cell Anemia
- Rapid energy uptake - Lipid digestion, Cholesterol creation, and fat processing genes
- Rapid repair - Folate creation (B vitamin) critical for cell creation and rapid cell reproduction
And I don't know where anyone would find a chromosome that codes for the creation of Claws that jut out from between your finger bones... maybe that one is still hidden in the genome somewhere!
