A bacteria with most powerful antibiotics resistant capacity have been discovered in the Arctic, indicating even the world’s last “pristine” environments are being colonised by superbugs. It comes with terrible warnings from health secretary Matt Hancock at the World Economic Forum, that antimicrobial resistance is a “global health emergency” more important than climate change or war.

In an attempt to study ancient lives and habitats, scientists in China and America has found that Anchiornis, one of the earliest feathered dinosaurs, could to fly like birds due to the lack of certain kind of proteins in its feathers. This interesting study and findings has been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Do you frequently work in night shifts? Lack of proper sleep and night-time wakefulness can cause damage to the structure of the human DNA and lead to many diseases, including cancer and diabetes, as well as cardiovascular, neurological and pulmonary diseases, warns a study.

Unlike human beings, plants don't have nose to smell. They have this inherent ability in their genes. A team of researchers at the University have discovered how information from odour molecules changes gene expression in plants. The study of plants odour detection systems may lead to new ways of influencing plant behaviour.

The gene editing technology seems to be trending in the science sphere. The news of gene-edited chicken is at its infancy and now again, there is fresh news of gene-edited monkeys. A team of Chinese scientists have cloned five monkeys. These monkeys were cloned from a gene-edited macaque.

In a bid to stop the next deadly human pandemic, British scientists are making gene-edited chickens designed to be totally resistant to flu virus in a new approach.

While studying the DNA strands, scientists have created a DNA tool which can exactly identify ancient populations. The tool may be used to test an individual's similarity to ancient people who once existed on the earth. Meanwhile, researchers confirm that the ancient DNA study requires a lot of information to classify a skeleton to a population or find its bio-geographical origins.

In bizarre news, cops in Taiwan conducted a DNA test to identify the thief who stole $2 yoghurt drink. A local report states that each DNA test cost NT$3,000 ($98) and as six of them were carried out, a total of NT$18,000 were spent.

The Delhi government on Monday said that its Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) has started providing DNA sample reports in cases of crime against women and in cases related to Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) within a month.

A suspect in the 1998 murder of a Dutch boy has been arrested in Spain with the help of mass DNA testing, the Spanish police announced on Monday.
