The study of genetics has progressed rapidly in recent decades. For example, just a few months ago, the first complete, gap-free sequencing of the human genome was announced. Now the researchers have made progress again and created the first comprehensive functional map of genes expressed in human cells

Astronaut Scott Kelly tests his fine motor skills as part of his year-long mission on the International Space Station. This task tested Kelly's ability to use his fine motor skills: pointing, dragging, copying a shape, and rotating - on an Apple iPad, after extended time in space. Image courtesy of NASA.

Reversible genetic changes were discovered in astronaut Scott Kelly who spent a year in space compared to his brother Mark who remained on Earth
