Interesting thought.

That is a super idea. A problem is that it's basic science.

What happens to generic DNA and RNA over time in low gravity would be interesting to know. It could well be nothing. And there might be some subtle changes due to the lack of gravity affecting the mobility of strands, part strands and/or molecules.

Certainly there wouldn't be gross changes, but if something happened very slightly more often the effect could be cumulative. I would think it could help us understand that for which we'd look a bit better.

And that's just the obvious from a rank amateur. Maybe the labs from other countries are set up to do that.
