Introduction

While molecular genetics has achieved remarkable success, it confronts a growing number of phenomena that challenge the canonical model of heredity. Unexplained findings—such as the non-Mendelian inheritance observed in Arabidopsis plants, the function of the 98% of the genome dismissed as "junk," and the long-range action of morphogenetic genes—suggest that our understanding is incomplete. These puzzles compel us to consider that genetic memory possesses additional attributes beyond the triplet code for proteins, likely involving a wave-based character. This paper presents experimental evidence demonstrating the capacity of DNA preparations in vitro to produce multiple, dynamic, visual "wave replicas" of themselves and their immediate surroundings. These phantoms, captured on photographic film, manifest as a response to specific combinations of electromagnetic (EM) fields and provide a visual basis for the theory of the wave genome.

Materials and Methods

To investigate and visualize the wave replicas of DNA, two experimental setups were used.

• Core Apparatus: The primary setup involved a sample of air-dried DNA from bovine spleen (~100 mg) placed in a plastic Eppendorf tube or an aluminum foil boat. This sample was subjected to controlled EM radiation from several sources managed by a timed sequencer:
  
• A UV-B white light lamp.
• A UV-C bactericidal mercury vapor lamp.
• A red and infrared LED matrix (Diuna-M device), containing 21 red (λ=650nm) and 16 infrared (λ=920nm) diodes.
• Recording and Monitoring: The phenomena, while invisible to the naked eye, were recorded using Fuji 24-27 DIN photographic film. An oscilloscope monitored the ambient EM fields during the experiments.
• Experimental Variants: Two procedural variants were employed. The first allowed replicas to form and move along complex, unpredictable trajectories. The second variant produced replicas that moved deterministically in a horizontal direction; in this setup, a mechanical shock to the DNA sample caused the replica's trajectory to reverse before disappearing.
• Control Substances: To confirm that the effect was unique to DNA, a range of other substances were tested under identical conditions, including crystalline sodium chloride, tartaric acid, glycine, starch, and bi-distilled water. None of these control substances produced wave replicas.

Results

The experiments consistently demonstrated that DNA, when stimulated, generates wave replicas that are captured on film. This effect was absent in control tests where either the DNA was not present or the EM fields were inactive.

• Dynamic and Complex Behavior: The wave replicas are not static images. They move through space, often along complex and discrete paths, and can appear to multiply or split. In some instances, the replicas copied not only the DNA sample but also nearby objects involved in the experiment, such as the LED matrix itself. The generation of replicas required complete spatial stability between the DNA, the EM sources, and the camera.
• The "Phantom" After-Effect: A crucial finding is the persistence of the replica for a period after all stimulating EM fields were deactivated. This "phantom" or "afterglow" demonstrates a form of memory within the system.
• Color Distribution Analysis: Analysis of the film showed that the replicas generated during active stimulation were predominantly concentrated in the red color channel, correlating directly with the red and infrared diodes used for excitation. However, the persistent "phantom" replica showed a significant difference: the red channel faded, while distinct peaks emerged in the green and blue channels, indicating a spectral shift in the after-effect.
• Mechanical Sensitivity: The replicas were highly sensitive to physical disturbance. In the second experimental variant, a mechanical shock to the DNA sample caused the replicas to reverse their direction of travel and then vanish entirely within 5-8 seconds, even while the stimulating equipment remained active.

Discussion

These results provide strong evidence for the wave-based informational properties of DNA. The phenomenon observed is a form of quasi-genetic replication in vitro, where DNA copies itself and its environment through a wave-based medium. This aligns with our earlier discovery of the "DNA Phantom Effect" in 1985, where a phantom light-scattering signal remained in a spectrometer cuvette after the physical DNA sample had been removed.

We propose a holographic mechanism to explain these findings. The UV light sources may "record" a holographic image of the DNA and its surroundings onto the DNA's quasi-crystalline structure. This hologram is then "read" by the longer-wavelength red and infrared light, which reconstructs the image—the wave replica. The use of different wavelengths for recording (UV) and reading (red/IR) would naturally lead to the observed blurriness and distortion of the reconstructed images.

The intermittent appearance of the replicas on the film strip suggests a process of energy accumulation and discharge. The DNA fibers absorb energy from the EM field ("pumping") and then release it in a burst of coherent radiation that creates the replica. If the camera shutter is open during this discharge, the image is captured; otherwise, the frame is blank.

This capacity for holographic recording and wave-based transmission may be a fundamental aspect of how biological systems manage information. It could serve as a mechanism for intercellular communication, guiding the complex spatio-temporal architecture of a developing organism. Pathologically, this phenomenon could also be significant; for example, high doses of UV radiation from sun exposure might create abnormal holographic programs in the skin's DNA, which, when read by the red/infrared light in sunlight, could lead to malignant tumors like melanoma. Understanding and harnessing this holographic control could pave the way for revolutionary advances in regenerative medicine.
