dinosaurs, has been spotted by scientists in an unexpected location.“It’s kind of hiding in plain sight in the human genome,” says Aris Katzourakis at the University of Oxford.There are two examples of the long-extinct virus hidden inside every living human.The fossil viruses are very unlike the ones that infect us with everything from Covid-19 to the common cold.Modern viruses tend to be retroviruses, which actively insert DNA copies of their RNA genes into the genomes of the cells they infect. Between 5 per cent and 10 per cent of the human genome consists “junk DNA” from retroviruses.The recently-discovered fossil viruses belong to an ancient group of DNA viruses known by scientists as Mavericks.Traces of fossil Mavericks have been identified in fish, amphibians and reptiles in the past, but the only previous known example of Maverick DNA inside mammals is in cast, and is thought to have been cross-contaminated from fish.But these very ancient viral traces have been with us all along.Stay in the loop with all the latest Daily Star news by signing up for one of our free newsletters here.In a new paper documenting the discovery, Katzourakis and his co-author Jose Gabriel Nino Barreat, write that one of the Maverick viruses was introduced into the genome of one of our distant ancestors at least 105 million years ago.“We further estimate the age of the viral ancestor around 268 [million years],” they write.“Our results provide evidence for some of the oldest viral integrations in the human genome and insights into the ancient interactions of viruses with the ancestors of modern-day mammals”.“There aren’t that many non-retroviral viruses in our genome,” Katzourakis told New Scientist.

Dancing On Ice is often way more dramatic than producers anticipate for, and the 2022 series is no different.Fans were left fuming when Love Island's Liberty Poole was eliminated last week (February 13) after a shocking fall on the ice.And Ben Foden's wife was adamant the show was "pointless" after her man became the first to be voted off the show back in January.But over the years, contestants have had backstage drama which has seen them quit the show without facing the public vote.Here, as viewers get excited for Musicals Week on Dancing On Ice, Daily Star takes a look at the ITV show's most shocking exits.Back in 2018, Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Waring became the second celebrity to be voted off after a skate-off against singer Lemar, who stumbled during his routine.And it seems her emotions got the better of her as she burst into tears as she spoke to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield afterwards.She had scored just 17 points for her skate, alongside pro Sylvain Longchambon, and said she'd "done it better in rehearsals".As she spoke through her tears, Stephanie said: "Do you know what I've had the most amazing time."I'm really proud of myself for what I've done."Sylvain later slammed the judges, claiming they broke the rules by saving Lemar when he had a stumble.He told The Sun: "The rules are if there’s a stumble in the skate off then if the other couple skate well then they should be out.

Kilmarnock in their play-off battle at Dens Park. Jordan McGhee and Charlie Adam netted in either half against Tommy Wright's lacklustre side but Brandon Haunstrup scored for the visitors to hand them a lifeline ahead of Monday's return leg.
