Scientists Discover New Forms of Life Inside Human Bodies That Don't Match Anything Biology Has Classified > Researchers identified more than 3,000 unique types of obelisks while analysing public metagenomic datasets. These included genetic sequences obtained from human oral and intestinal microbiomes, using high-throughput computational tools designed to detect circular RNA structures within large genomic libraries. > Obelisks do not conform to known definitions of viruses, plasmids, or other mobile genetic elements. They are protein-free, RNA-only replicators that fall outside established microbial categories. This has drawn interest from researchers studying the boundaries of life and how its simplest forms might operate. > > The implications of the discovery extend into evolutionary biology, particularly in ongoing discussions about the origins of RNA-based life. Some theories suggest early life forms may have relied solely on self-replicating RNA. Entities like obelisks, which lack both cellular structure and protein machinery, could offer insight into these early evolutionary stages. > As more human and environmental microbiomes are sequenced, scientists expect further discoveries of novel RNA forms with unknown roles. Whether obelisks are ancient relics of RNA evolution or modern molecular parasites remains unanswered. Current research efforts aim to determine how they persist, how they are transmitted between bacterial hosts, and whether they interact with other components of microbial communities.
