550 UP students isolate DNA from bananas, set world record
A group of 550 students, aged 12-17 years from Lucknow's GD Goenka Public School, on Saturday successfully isolated DNA from bananas to create a new Guinness World Record for 'maximum number of people conducting a DNA isolation experiment'. They completed the experiment within 61 minutes, beating the earlier record by 302 students at Seattle Children's Research Institute in the US.
