Abstract

We suggest a possible correlation between the ionization events caused by the background neutron radiation and the experimental data on mutations with damage in the DNA repair mechanism, coming from the Long Term Evolution Experiment in E. Coli populations.

    • Oh heck, me too - since I was responding to your only comment just minutes ago, here is again :) Maybe, but what is really causing the DNA methylation? The article pins it mostly on epigenetics or environment, the 'stress of space travel', including dietary constraints and…

    • Maybe, but what is really causing the DNA methylation? The article pins it mostly on epigenetics or environment, the 'stress of space travel', including dietary constraints and oxygen levels all of which are valid.…
