We have planned CERISE (C. elegans RNAi space experiment) on STS-129 spaceflight (2009 Nov. 12+) using a model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. In this experiment, our purposes are (1) evaluation of whether RNA interference (RNAi) occurs under space environment as the same manner as on the earth, and (2) to investigate the effects of microgravity on entire gene and protein expressions, protein phosphorylation, and muscle alterations in C. elegans beyond generations. We have also performed to construct biodosimeter to monitor the cosmic radiation on ISS and spacecrafts. Here we introduce the progress of CERISE experiment and the performance of the biodosimeter.
