Life's genetic code ... on an asteroid! A new study has revealed that all 5 fundamental #nucleobases - the molecular letters of #life - have been detected in samples from the asteroid #Ryugu, brought back to Earth by the #Hayabusa2 mission in 2020. 🪨🧬🛰️🔭

Ryugu asteroid carries all five DNA/RNA nucleobases. Same bricks, different proportions. Like code behaving differently per environment. Space missions = git clone of the solar system. The bricks matter, but how you combine them matters more.

Asteroiden wie Bennu, Ryugu etc. enthalten „Bausteine des Lebens“ Die Raumsonde Hayabusa 2 hat 2018/2019 den Asteroiden Ryugu besucht, ist gelandet und hat 2022 Proben auf der Erde abgeliefert. In diesen Proben wurden Aminosäuren (als Bausteine des Lebens) gefunden.

Spannend, die Bausteine des Lebens scheinen in vielen Meteoriten vorzukommen, wie jetzt eine Untersuchung an Proben von #Bennu, #Ryugu und zwei auf der Erde gefundenen Meteoriten nachgewiesen wurde.

Asteroid Ryugu enthält alle fünf Erbgut-Basen Der genetische Code aller Lebewesen beruht auf nur fünf verschiedenen Basen – vier kommen in der DNA vor, eine fünfte nur in RNA. Wie und wo diese Buchstaben unseres Erbguts jedoch einst entstanden sind, ist unklar. Jetzt belegen Analysen von Proben des Asteroiden (162173) Ryugu, dass sein Material alle fünf Nukleobasen enthält. Dies stützt Hypothesen, nach denen die ersten Lebensbausteine nicht auf der Erde entstanden, sondern zumindest zum Teil aus dem Weltraum kamen.

Ryugu Asteroid Research Reveals Mineral History Predating Any on Earth Scientists analyze Ryugu asteroid samples using X-ray techniques at NSLS-II, revealing a complex mineral and chemical history

We used ultrabright X-rays at #NSLSII to reveal the microscale chemistry of #Ryugu, a near-Earth asteroid.

"[ #framboidalmagnetite] forms when liquid water interacts with rock in a process called aqueous alteration. So, at some point in #Ryugu ’s past, there was flowing liquid water in its core that chemically altered the rock and then locked the magnetic field in when the rock solidified."
