Open Science Data Repository
The NASA Open Science Data Repository (OSDR) enables access to space-related data from experiments and missions that investigate biological and health responses of terrestrial life to spaceflight. The goal of OSDR is to enable multi-modal and multi-hierarchical fundamental space life science data be reused toward basic science, applied science, and operational outcomes for space exploration and knowledge discovery. These data include ‘omics, phenotypic, physiological, behavioral, hardware, environmental telemetry; raw, processed; tabular, text, code, bioimaging, and video.

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!”
