ELI LILLY’S (VERVE-102) —> world’s first in-vivo CRISPR gene-editing therapy for LDL cholesterol; a single-dose treatment reported to reduce LDL-C by about 62% by targeting the PCSK9 gene in the liver.
Additional fact: Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic disorder causing very high LDL cholesterol, is commonly associated with mutations in the LDLR, APOB, or PCSK9 genes.

• Viruses are classified into a vast “virosphere”; Ebola virus belongs to the family Filoviridae, while Hantaviruses belong to the family Hantaviridae and are primarily rodent-borne.
Additional factual points:
• Ebola virus was first identified near the Ebola River in present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo (1976).
• Hantaviruses are named after the Hantan River, where the disease was first recognized during the Korean War.
• Most hantaviruses spread through aerosols of rodent urine, droppings, or saliva, but the Andes virus is notable for human-to-human transmission. Andes virus is the only hantavirus known to spread human-to-human.
• Tai Forest virus is an Ebola virus species first identified in Côte d’Ivoire (1994).
• Existing Ebola vaccines are primarily designed against Zaire ebolavirus.
• Virus classification and naming are overseen by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).

Celler Abadal (Catalonia, Spain) became the first vineyard to receive the “Fire Wine” certification, recognising vineyards that help reduce wildfire risk through fire-resilient land management practices.
• Catalonia (Spain) recently used vineyards as natural firebreaks to slow the spread of wildfires.
• FireWine Certification is a Catalonia-based initiative that recognizes vineyards adopting wildfire-prevention practices.
• Europe is experiencing its worst wildfire period since records began in 2006, with nearly 2.5 million acres scorched in the recent season.
• Vineyards reduce wildfire spread because rows of vines and cleared soil between them contain less combustible vegetation.
• Truffle cultivation and beekeeping (honey production) encourage management of forest undergrowth, thereby lowering wildfire fuel loads.

• DNA test in paternity disputes can be ordered only in exceptional cases when no other evidence can conclusively establish the truth; courts must balance the Right to Privacy (Article 21) with an individual’s right to identity.
• The Right to Privacy under Article 21 is not absolute and may be balanced against competing rights and interests.
• The Supreme Court held that in paternity disputes, courts must balance the alleged father’s privacy with the claimant’s right to identity and certainty of parentage.
• The Court relied on recent judgments including Aparna Ajinkya Firodia v. Ajinkya Arun Firodia (2024) and Ivan Rathinam v. Milan Joseph (2025), emphasizing balancing of privacy, dignity, and social consequences.
• DNA evidence is considered one of the most reliable forms of scientific evidence, but its use is subject to constitutional safeguards and judicial scrutiny.

World’s First Green Rail Corridor
• Kerala proposed 473km High-Speed Rail Corridor (Thiruvananthapuram–Kannur) to be the world’s first Green Rail Corridor, with its operational energy requirement proposed to be met entirely through captive solar power.
• The proposal comes after the SilverLine semi-high-speed rail project was shelved/withdrawn
• Unlike SilverLine, the new corridor is proposed to run largely on elevated viaducts, with only a short underground stretch in Thiruvananthapuram, thereby aiming to reduce land acquisition and environmental concerns.
Crowdfunding
• Crowdfunding means raising funds for a specific project by collecting small contributions from a large number of individuals, usually through web-based platforms or social networks.
• It can enable startups, SMEs, and infrastructure projects to access capital from a broad investor base without relying entirely on traditional bank finance.
