Microgravity effect on C. elegans N2/VC (CERISE, 4 days)

Microgravity effect on C. elegans gene expression was analysed by whole genome microarray. The worms were cultivated under microgravity for 4 days in the Japanese Module of the International Space Station. C. elegans N2 was exposed microgravity for 4 days. The worms synchronously were cultivated from L1 larvae to adult. There are two control groups, onboard 1G and ground 1G control.

本研究采用全基因组微阵列（whole genome microarray）技术，分析了微重力对秀丽隐杆线虫（C. elegans）基因表达的影响。实验所用秀丽隐杆线虫N2品系，从L1幼虫阶段开始同步培养至成虫，随后于国际空间站（International Space Station）日本实验舱内开展为期4天的微重力培养。本实验共设置两组对照：舱内1G对照组与地面1G对照组。
