Microgravity effect on C. elegans N2/VC (CERISE, 8days). Caenorhabditis elegans

Microgravity effect on C. elegans gene expression was analysed by whole genome microarray. The worms were cultivated under microgravity for 8days in the Japanese Module of the International Space Station. Overall design: The samples of this study were divided three experimental groups: 1. microgravity for 8days 2. artificial 1G control for 8days on orbit 3. ground 1G control for 8days This study was repeated with three biological and two technical replicates.

本研究通过全基因组微阵列（whole genome microarray）分析了微重力对秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）基因表达的影响。实验所用线虫于国际空间站日本实验舱内开展了为期8天的微重力培养。
实验设计：本研究的样本分为3个实验组：1. 微重力培养8天组；2. 在轨人工1G对照培养8天组；3. 地面1G对照培养8天组。本研究设置3次生物学重复与2次技术重复以保障实验结果的可靠性。
