Nucleic  Acid Detection System — Current  tests for nucleic acid identification and quantification can only be performed  in a laboratory environment. This  contract, which involves participation by the National Research Council Canada,  will help develop the next generation of gene regulation testing in the form of  a portable, handheld system. This new technology will have applications not  only in assessing astronaut immune system function and health during space  travel, but also in remote or disaster situations on Earth. Nucleic acid testing  can probe for genetic variations linked to cancer, neurological disorders, and  development abnormalities.
