[i]From the lengths of the twins' chromosomes to the microbiomes in their guts, "almost everyone is reporting that we see differences", says Christopher Mason, a geneticist at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. He and other project scientists reported the early results on 26 January in Galveston, Texas, at a meeting of scientists working in NASA's Human Research Program. "The data are so fresh that some of them are still coming off the sequencing machines," Mason says. The challenge now is to untangle how many of the observed changes are specific to the physical demands of spaceflight — and how many might be simply due to natural variations. And because the Kelly twins are just two people, the results may not be generalizable to others.[/i]
