Systemic Genome Correlation Loss as a Central Characteristic of Spaceflight

As we prepare for longer missions in space, understanding how spaceflight impacts astronaut health is a high priority. This study used data from from the Open Science Data Repository to uncover a key finding: time in space leads to a loss of coordination between genes, a sign that the body’s systems may be under stress. These insights bring us closer to protecting astronaut health on future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Visualization Tools

Data Visualization

GeneLab’s latest software release includes a new visualization portal to interact with gene expression data from space-related omics experiments. The enhanced portal includes a new search interface, new plots and layout, and advanced settings to customize the plots.

RadLab

RadLab is a portal that aims to provide a single point of access to radiation telemetry data from multiple databases maintained by multiple space agencies.

Environmental Data App (EDA)

The Environmental Data App (EDA) is a portal where users can visualize and compare ISS (International Space Station) cabin environmental telemetry data and radiation data gathered from spaceflight missions.

Testimonials

Nilufar Ali, Boise State University

“Getting involved with NASA GeneLab and the OSDR platform has been incredibly valuable for advancing our Parkinson’s disease and Spaceflight research. Accessing publicly available datasets provided critical support for our project, and the collaborative environment fostered through OSDR has been inspiring. I’ve had the opportunity to connect with passionate researchers from diverse disciplines, all eager to contribute and learn together as we work to answer complex scientific questions. It’s truly a great platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and discovery!”
