DNA
Using the tools of NASA climate change research, and epigenetics. We have produced a video based on climate change's effect on DNA and health. The challenge is to provide facts about the climate change effects on DNA as such instead there is more evidence on environmental effects on DNA and health. Nowadays DNA analysis is very common. Since the human genome project was completed in April 2003.
We need to focus on Climate change to improve or repair our DNA and Health.
NASA astronaut Christina Koch works on the Genes in Space-6 investigation. is generates and repair double-strand DNA breaks in a yeast and sequence the DNA to determine whether the repair restored its original order or made errors
CRISPR genome editing technique, at the International Space Station successfully generated breaks in the DNA of a common yeast, directed the method of repair, and sequenced the patched-up DNA to determine whether its original order was restored.

Climate change
Some people are more vulnerable to climate change and also some populations have more health risks than others such as pregnant woman, children, older adults, low income communities, indigenous peoples.

Epigenome
Everything you do, your exercise, the food you eat , the various Life stresses can impact your DNA directly.
The epigenome also médiates a lifelong dialogue between genes and the environment.
The Chemical tags that turn genes on and off can be influenced by factors including diet, chemical exposure and médication. The resulting epigenetic changes can eventually lead to disease.
For example, if the turned off a gene that makes a tumor-suppressing protein.
NASA astronaut Nick Hague runs an analysis with the miniPCR hardware for Genes in Space-6 during Expedition 59. Radiation damages DNA and how cells repair that damage in microgravity.

Climate change
Environment can have an effect on your genes, but it doesn’t really change your DNA.
The DNA stars the same what changes is the way your body rads these genes.
We need to fight for our planet and for our DNA and our health.
DNA repair is the key to future space exploration, and to climate change damages to our DNA and health.
