Maybe Anubis's host possesses the gene... At least, that's the theory I'm working on in a fic of mine...

I'd always figured that he'd just start having people stick their heads in there.
Sam obviously thought that you could download the info from the device onto a computer or something, because they wanted to take it with them and do something with it at the SGC. They dug the one from the wall from the Fifth Race and had been tinkering around with it.Dark Helmet: So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
Dark Helmet: No, it's not what you think. It's much, much worse!
Col. Sandurz: Prepare for light speed.
Dark Helmet: No, no, light speed is too slow.
Col. Sandurz: Light speed too slow?
Dark Helmet: Yes, we'll have to go right to...Ludicrous speed!
Col. Sandurz:Ludicrous speed! Sir, we've never gone that fast before. I don't think the ship can take it.
Dark Helmet: What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz...CHICKEN?!

I wouldn't have thought Anubis would want people randomly sticking their heads in that thing, just in case any of them got the download and then turned on him. Of course, it might be that he was going to get someone to download the knowledge, then dredge it out of their cranium with the brain spike.
I suppose if his host was Ancient-geney, he might have downloaded one of them before. That knowledge might have been what enabled him to Ascend, but his Goa'uldiness could have interfered and his genetic memory and the Ancient memories got all tangled and mangled, especially when he gets shoved back down to mortal coildom, hence he doesn't know everything and wants to take a refresher course from another device.Behold the majesty that is...GERALD!

The team's medical doctor, Beckett is a Scottish man with a witty sense of humor. Beckett must become an expert in xenobiology when he joins the expedition to the Pegasus galaxy, and he learns early on that he possesses the rare gene that allows him to use the Ancients' technology.Red counter: 14 Dings and growing.

I was looking for anything about the Ancients and numbers (related to my newbie post), and this thread came up. So, outta the blue, I'm posting to an older thread (though not related to my search)!
If the gene is confirmed in Dr. Carson Beckett and John Sheppard, wouldn't it be a good idea to test their siblings or parents and/or trace back their genealogy to find other possibly likely ATA-gene carrying folks? Should there be an increased probability that the ATA gene is found in relatives of Sheppard and Beckett?

Originally posted by ShadowMaatActually, I'd find that even worse than just a general coincidence of people just happening to have the gene and working at Stargate Command. Coincidences I can learn to live with, but implied arrogance at that level... the sheer audacity of suggesting that Americans are somehow once again slightly "better" than everyone else... no thanks. Now, if there were a concentration of gene-bearers in some random little third world-type country, that might be kinda funny, but I think America is pompous enough without crediting them with a prevalence of Ancient genes.
No offense intended. I'm American, myself. I just hate to see the US being promoted above all other countries (and planets, for that matter). We aren't better or worse than anyone else. But that stuff is probably best left to a political thread.
I'll stick happily with the generic coincidence of gene-bearers in Stargate Command.
