The space worm experiment reveals that gravity affects genes

[ad_1] Caenorhabditis elegans. Credit: Wikipedia Living in low gravity affects cells at the genetic level, according to a study of worms in space. Genetic analysis of Caenorhabditis elegans worms on the International Space Station showed “subtle changes” in about 1,000 genes. Stronger effects were found in some genes, especially between …
