NASA GeneLab Data: Inspiration4 Mission: Commercial Astronaut Data Now Available At NASA Open Science Data Repository OSDR

by Keith CowingJune 13, 2024June 12, 2025

NASA GeneLab: The increased accessibility of commercial and private spaceflight travel has made it imperative to understand the short- and long-term effects of space stressors on human health.

Overall pipeline of GLARE: Gene LAb Representation learning pipelinE. (a) Illustration of GLARE, starting with a verification study followed by preprocessing through detecting outliers using k-means clustering. Using the clean dataset, GLARE provides options for representation learning from PCA to state-of-the-art SAE pre-trained with high-throughput single-cell data. Retrieved data representation is then processed through ensemble clustering to find the hidden patterns within the data. Results from the verification study and ensemble clustering are then used for post-pipeline analysis. (b) Model architecture illustration of employed SAE for both training with and without pre-training. (c) Ensemble clustering using three base clustering algorithms based on different statistical methodologies. Evidence accumulation clustering is used to derive consensus clusters from these algorithms. -- biorxiv.org
