He tested the functionality of the CRISPR-Cas12a-based molecular detection system. This system involves two enzymatic reactions, and now we can report that the system works very well in microgravity, opening the door for developing Cas12a-based diagnostics kits for astronauts!

Then, he edited scarlet, a gene responsible for shuttling pigments into the compound eye of the adult beetle, making their eyes white, instead of black!
