Spaceflight-Induced Microgravity Affects Genes, Study Shows | Biology – Sci-News.com
A genetic analysis of transparent nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans on the International Space Station showed ‘subtle changes’ in about 1,000 genes.
A genetic analysis of transparent nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans on the International Space Station showed subtle changes in about 1,000 genes; stronger effects were found in some genes, especially those responsible for neuronal function and cellular metabolism.
Willis et al. performed comparative transcriptomic analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans responses to varying degrees of hypergravity and to two spaceflight experiments. Image credit: Willis et al., doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2020.101734.
