Scientists have forever tried to make humans capable of long
range space missions.
One of the keys to unlocking this are microRNAs -- molecular gene
silencers that hinder gene expression without altering the genetic
code itself. By studying the microRNA strategy some species use,
we can exploit this genetic on/off switch for rapid, reversible
changes for extended periods that could bring about this
phenomenon in humans.

meeting him and the then PM Indira Gandhi. W also gave assent
to the bill that nationalised Indian banks in this period.
● More than a decade later, W was elected to the post of Y. During
his term, Z2, who was the then Indian X, went to the US for
medical treatment, and so W again became the acting X.
