NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – According to a recent study by space scientists, human genes evolve as they move in space relative to those of the Earth.
"It seems like the body is interacting with this exotic environment, as if there was a mysterious living organism inside you," said geneticist Christopher Mason of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, who contributed to the direction of the study.
Until now, scientists have not yet determined whether genetic changes were better or worse, but the results of the unique study on NASA twins raised new questions for doctors while the agency aims to send people to Mars.
The genetic analyzes of the twins have given scientists an unprecedented opportunity to trace the details of the human body's biology, such as how astronauts' genes function in space differently than the Earth.
