Modified mosquitos in Brazil

A biotech company released millions of genetically modified mosquitos in Brazil from 2013 to 2015, in the hopes of reducing the number of disease-carrying mosquitos. Some of these mosquitos passed their genes to the native ones, but there are concerns that they might have created a more dangerous species. Homeowners have tried many home goods to eliminate the issue. However, even swatting them...

Denisovan Woman’s Portrait from her pinky bone DNA

Denisovans are a group of apes from 15,000 years ago who shared caves with human beings. Humans and Denisovans were believed to have intimate relations in their time, which probably resulted in genetic links to some human populations in the present. In 2010, scientist used the latest in web technology in a cave in Siberia, a jawbone, some teeth, and a pinky bone were discovered though no traces...

Lochness “Monster”

For more than 1,000 years in people’s imagination, the Loch Ness monster has continued to haunt the deep Scottish lake. But no traces of the monster's DNA was found in a scientific survey conducted. This science was also used for researching the effects of CBD on adults. An environmental survey of the DNA of the said monster showed no signs of its existence at all. The survey only revealed DNA...
