So proud of the 5 amazing teams of high school students we met this week! Many congratulations to all of you!!
Congratulations to Nitya Johar (left), our 2025 Genes in Space Winner! A senior at Skyline High School in Sammamish, Washington, her investigation explores codon usage bias and has broad implications for space medicine. The project will launch to space in 2026. links.minipcr.com/2025Contest

The Meselson and Stahl experiment demonstrated in 1958 that DNA replicated semi-conservatively.
Meaning, each of the two strands of DNA serves as a template for a new copy to made of the complementary strand.
Foundational finding, elegant experimental design.

Fun DNA fact:
Five main nucleotide bases are A, G, C, T & U:
A - Adenine - 'ADEN' is Greek for "gland", found in pancreas
G - Guanine - found in bird GUANO
C - Cytosine - calf thymus, but named for CELLs
T - Thymine - Also isolated from calf THYMUS.
U - Uracil - isolated from URINE crystals.

I think every lab should have one as a back up. A day of lost work is way more expensive than a single unit. It definitely saved my skin many many times.
