The ACHOO syndrome is a physiological mystery. Affecting nearly a third of the population, it's an involuntary sneeze due to sudden light exposure. If either of your parents sneezes when they walk into the sun, chances are you would too!

DNA isn’t just the code of life—it’s the ultimate hard drive. A single gram of DNA can store 215 petabytes of data. That’s like over 100 billion movies… in something smaller than a grain of rice. 🤯

Think DNA has just 4 bases: A, T, C, G? Meet base J: ß-D-glucopyranosyloxymethyluracil. Found in some parasites, it's a gene regulator essential for survival. This discovery is rewriting what we thought we knew about DNA. Nature doesn’t just play by the rules—it edits them.
