Offworld Genomics Research: Nanopore minION Gene Sequencer Ground Control Samples
jsc2018e040456 (4/30/2018) — A Researcher at NASA’s Johnson Space Center perform DNA and RNA sequencing on microbes as part of the Biomolecule Extraction and Sequencing Technology (BEST) experiment. The same sequencing procedure is performed in orbit aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and the results are compared to those on the ground. This will provide better insight into the effects of the spaceflight environment on microbial life.
