Zebra mussel DNA found in Utah’s Colorado River for first time, raising alarm
For the first time, Zebra mussel DNA has been found in Utah's Colorado River, raising alarms among wildlife officials. This finding follows a serious infestation documented near Loma, Colorado, in 2025. Concern is mounting over the potential harm this invasive species could cause to local ecosystems and infrastructure. Boaters are strongly encouraged to clean, drain, and dry their watercraft to avert further spread.
Scientists found that DNA once dismissed as "junk" helps chromosomes find their partners
Repetitive DNA near chromosome centers forms a unique barcode for partner recognition. This barcode guides chromosomes to their correct partners during egg cell development. When this DNA barcode is disrupted, chromosomes pair incorrectly or fail to pair. A quality-control system eliminates eggs with such errors before they mature. This discovery revives an old idea about "junk" DNA's role in reproduction.
Earthquake or glacial collapse? What triggered the catastrophic Nepal flash floods that left over 160 dead
The devastating flash floods that struck Nepal on Wednesday was caused by a 'glacial collapse' and a 'debris flow' that ultimately led to the disaster that left over 160 people dead, said the United States Geological Survey (USGS) on Thursday.

Scientists found evolutionary highways in animal genomes dating back 600 million years
By examining thousands of genomes along with fragments of ancient chromosomes, researchers uncovered the intricate journey of animal evolution. Their findings highlight how chromosomes merged and changed over epochs, with some species retaining ancestral structures while others underwent significant reorganization. Notably, the fusion of chromosomes peaked approximately 550 million years ago, leaving lasting impacts on the genetic frameworks of various animal lineages.
Rent Cut After Death Probe: D4vd’s Hollywood Hills rental sits vacant; stigma fears cloud demand
D4vd’s former Hollywood Hills home, linked to the investigation into Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s death, has reportedly struggled to attract a tenant. The property’s monthly rent has dropped from $23,950 to $21,500, a reduction of more than 10%. D4vd moved out in September 2025 after police searched the residence. Investigators reportedly examined potential blood stains and other evidence there. The property remains vacant amid the ongoing high-profile case.
Viral Mentorship Post: Charlie Kirk’s training reframes Candace Owens debates; critics face new question
A viral post has reignited discussion about Charlie Kirk’s influence on Candace Owens’ debate skills. The writer claims Kirk recognized Owens’ talent early, traveled with her and spent hours teaching her how to prepare, use note cards and handle opponents. The post argues that critics who underestimated Owens were also overlooking Kirk’s confidence in his student and the years of mentorship that helped shape her debating abilities.
Qatar PM to visit Tehran as Iran-US tensions persist over Hormuz Strait
The latest visit comes as the conflict approaches its sixth month. Although major fighting has largely stopped, the two sides have yet to make progress towards a lasting diplomatic settlement. One of the biggest unresolved issues is the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway between Iran and Oman through which a major share of the world's oil supplies normally passes.
