ATA GENEThe ATA gene is a gene specific to Ancients that acts as a biological key for Ancient technology. Dr. Carson Beckett of the Atlantis Expedition is credited with the discovery of this gene, and in 2009 he began the first stages of human trials for a gene therapy designed to give humans who do not possess the gene the ability to operate Ancient technology.
For characters, this means that unless you have a natural gene (which is normally very rare), you cannot operate technology such as Puddle Jumpers, Control Chairs and any other Ancient technology that involves a neural interface. Very few people have had the experimental gene therapy so far, and less than half have been successful.
