Not sure what you mean by code. Here's a link provided by the Doc that has a lot of drillable information on chromosome 2.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/maps.cgi?taxid=9606&chr=2

Just so everyone knows (it obvious, but just in case), NCBI is OOG. It's an actual database for genomics research and cataloguing(sp?).

I think the most important information in the html is camera 24-H3.

The first thing that comes to mind is the magic squares. Think chess: move 24 to H3, I'll look into it.

EDIT: Looks like I'm on the right track, 'cause 24 IS in H3 according to chess rules, haha. (At least when you're looking from white's perspective.)

Added attachment. If we already did this for this square, then sorry, but I thought it was for the first (corrected) square. Added chess grid numbers for reference. For some reason the file is attaching very poorly. If you click on it it tends to correct itself. A little SPEC: We might end up having to "track" the good doc on cameras: this is our grid to know what the formats are. E.G. He goes north from 24-H3, new camera is 42-H4. Then he goes west, well, we're now at 39-G4. Get the gist?

[OOG, slightly OT, barely META]


I've done a lot of research, so I'll double post. (Take THAT Terms & Conditions! Kidding. More like etiquette.)

I've done some work on NCBI to look into more detail about the fusing of the two Chimpanzee chromosomes 2A and 2B into Human chromosome 2. Just taking the bottom gene of 2A and the top gene of 2B (not the actual end of the chromosome), they are about 135000 bp's apart. This is obviously OOG, but that is quite close to each other. It is most definitely truly a fusion: for reference the whole chromosome is in the hundreds of millions of basepairs. This places the two genes within a thousandth of the length of the chromosome. That makes this small part of the story consistent with modern science, and I give a thumbs up! Rock On

well, I got the email as well... haven't been following this arg generally, and almost passed off the email as spam (reported in the Email SPAM? thread)

Anything I need to quote here from the email contents to help with solving a puzzle or anything?

He's dead already.

PRESS RELEASE


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 26, 2007 – New York, NY

Triad Genomics, Inc. has the unfortunate duty to announce the untimely passing of
its co-founder, Nobel-prize winning geneticist Dr. Joshua Ambergris.

Dr. Ambergris was discovered at his desk at the Triad Genomics facility in the
Millennium Tower in Manhattan early this morning by a colleague, Omar Crowe. It
appears that Dr. Ambergris had been working all night in preparation for the
upcoming International Biogenetics Conference. The apparent cause of death
was a pulmonary embolism.

"Dr. Ambergris will be missed," said Crowe, Director of Security at Triad
Genomics.

A number of Dr. Ambergris's co-workers have remarked that he seemed to be in
declining health over the past few weeks. His passing is a great loss to Triad
Genomics and to the global scientific community.

A private memorial service will be held for friends and colleagues of Dr. Joshua
Ambergris on Aug. 1, 2007, at an undisclosed location.

Dr. Ambergris is survived only by a nephew, author and attorney Christopher
Forrest.

"We are in the process of locating Mr. Forrest now," said Crowe.

###

Ref. No.: 9435-CF-74R
Prepared by O.C. on July 24, 2007, at 4:05 p.m.


Edit: Umm, how did Omar Crowe prepare this statement two days before the Doc had a heart attack?

A new link on the TG website states that the good doctor's death has been confirmed.

Damn.. you beat me to it..


You may notice that this document was prepared much before the doctor's death, two days.. I also note that Aug. 1, 2007 is the date that is hidden in the recent email everyone has just aquired, and tagged as "The begining of the ancient word." Is something going to happen at the Doctor's funeral service?

Also.. the doctor's who i would like to meet on his myspace page, has been changed to 8/1/07 Very Happy

((Hey guyz im new to the forums but have been following the game since the start))

I find it quite strange that Ambergris's nephew is the author of the book and it seems the Order is looking for him, maybe as Joshua left him something. Maybe we'll be getting contact from Forrest?

The only ARG I've played where the PM is ingame as himself. XD

At what point does this thread get moved into it's own arg section?

Writing Crowe Again

Seeing as this group enjoyed egging Mr. Crowe on, I emailed him the following note:

Quote:
Dear Mr. Crowe,
First, let me pass along my condolences to Triad Genomics for the passing of Dr. Ambergris.

I am writing due to some confusion regarding the press release I read on Triad Genomic's website from you announcing the doctor's death.

You stated quite clearly that you discovered Dr. Ambergris' body early this morning, July 26th. However you wrote the release at 4:05pm on July 24th:

Ref. No.: 9435-CF-74R
Prepared by O.C. on July 24, 2007, at 4:05 p.m.

Would you please explain how you could have known two days ago that you would discover Dr. Ambergris' body this morning. This is most disconcerting. A prompt reply would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Michael *****


Let's see how testy he gets.

death of ambegris

its possible that mr crowe has posted this thing about his death to draw someone out so that the order may get them as well. ambergris could be held hostage and this tactic may be used draw a character out or one of us?

Well according to Crowe, they're looking for his nephew Forrest so it might be to draw him out, guess we'll find out

Also, it was mentioned a while back about the Sarasota on the good doc's myspace. It's just there because Forrest operates out of Sarasota, FL and is a lawyer there. If Ambergris lived in Saratoga I would've visted him.

At the risk of stating the totaly obvious, I would expect that on the first we will find an official press release for the release of Mr. Forrests book on Aug 21 and the list of tour dates. I assume to better tie in the book with the game. Up to now, Mr. Forrests web site has only mentioned that his book tour will commence on Aug 21 and that tour dates are to be announced. But this would have to be important to the game as the site also mentions:

Quote:
THE GENESIS CODE ARG will utilize elements and clues hidden in the novel to assist in online game play.


I still assume that the full blown game will not be avail until Aug 21 at the meet and greet w/ the Author, none of which are terribly close to me at this time. (gonna submit one near me)

here are the current locations:

Would you believe that my work banned that (above) website while I was on it!?!?

That's pretty funny. I've been on here for the whole summer and it took them until about a week and a half ago to ban www.unfiction.com, and they neglected to ban forums.unfiction.com hehehehe.
