Is there any evidence that genetic expression alters in space?
This has been seen in cultivated cells but it has not yet been attempted with complete organisms, although we hope so. What kinds of experiments would you like to do on the Columbus? A: This mission’s experiments already go the way that we would like to go in the future, namely investigating genetic expression in space using the installations of the Space Station. We would like to put a population of flies into space and cultivate them indefinitely. In a year it is possible to obtain more than 25 generations of Drosophila. It is a complex experiment that requires a complicated infrastructure. Part of our current work is dedicated to this end.
