im not sure if i got that part. something about neural signature thing. so ancients had more than 46 chromosomes and thats why Rush cant control Destiny?

Chromosomes??? how is that the answer?

And to expand on what I believe the others are saying, these markers should be something which are common to all Ancients. It is now merely a rather lengthy search (for which Rush has written a program) to go through all of the combinations. Now as long as they actually have a completely accurate listing of the Ancients genetic code they're, cuz I'm not sure that having the Ancient Gene or getting the shot will do it.

No, no, no.
They specifically state that Destiny IS NOT keyed to a genetic sequence of any kind.
What's preventing Rush from taking complete control of Destiny's systems is an encryption. As in discussion with students, it's impossible to break a complex code if you don't have some sort of a reference. Now they know that the code is based on genetic sequences of Ancients, and that gives them a strategy for breaking encryption.

Assuming you are correct, thanks for pointing this out.

In ways, it's more sophisticated than what the Destiny's apparently seems to be.

If this is the case, then I take back what I implied about it being keyed to a genetic sequence. What you said actually makes more sense in context of the timeline of the Ancients.

Glad that's cleared up for me.

In that case, having the ATA gene doesn't help at all, because the system does not check for it: the password itself is both necessary (you cannot access the ship's systems without) and sufficient (if you have it, you do not need anything else).
In this case, it seems that the Ancients selected a password that was somehow connected to their genetics. However, this does not change the fact that it is a password."From East Middle School.

I think the password is simply the numerical sequence for the ATA Gene. Instead of trying to randomly pick a code, it might make more sense to contact Earth and get the genetic sequence from them. Then just try to assign a numerical value for the 21 amino acid. It's somewhat logical that the Ancients would number the amino acids based on the number of carbons, or molecular weight, so establishing a cipher shouldn't be that difficult.
