India's twins pose DNA puzzle
Scientists from around the world are flocking to a small Indian village to try to find out why an extraordinarily large number of identical twins are being born there.
One in 10 births in Mohammad Pur Umri, near Allahabad, involves twins, most of them identical. Looking at the faces of Umri's residents, you can be forgiven for wondering if you have stepped onto the set of a sci-fi film on cloning.
Scientists in hi-tech labs thousands of miles away from the village dust bowl of Umri will try to match DNA strains, seeking an answer to the baffling genetic puzzle.
