All of life encodes information with DNA. While tools for sequencing, synthesis, and editing of genomic code have transformed biological research, intelligently composing new biological systems would also require a […]
Editor’s note: If we aspire to mount expeditions to new worlds and then embrace the task of characterizing and quantifying whatever life forms we find, the ability to map and […]
The SpaceX Inspiration4 mission provided a unique opportunity to study the impact of spaceflight on the human body. Biospecimen samples were collected from four crew members longitudinally before (Launch: L-92, […]
The collection of environmental DNA (eDNA) samples is often laborious, costly, and logistically difficult to accomplish at high frequency in remote locations and over large geographic areas.
The recent acceleration of commercial, private, and multi-national spaceflight has created an unprecedented level of activity in low Earth orbit (LEO), concomitant with the highest-ever number of crewed missions entering […]
Spaceflight induces molecular, cellular, and physiological shifts in astronauts and poses myriad biomedical challenges to the human body, which are becoming increasingly relevant as more humans venture into space. Yet, […]
Spaceflight studies present novel insights into biological processes through exposure to stressors outside the evolutionary path of terrestrial organisms. Despite limited access to space environments, numerous transcriptomic datasets from spaceflight […]
Join ESA for a 5-day virtual ESA Space Omics Hackathon to tackle space exploration challenges using NASA GeneLab omics datasets. Don’t miss this chance to shape the future of space […]
Microarray technology enables simultaneous analysis of thousands of genes, facilitating understanding of complex diseases and molecular responses to environmental factors such as microgravity in space biology experiments.
Unveiling the Microbial Realm with VEBA 2.0: A Modular Bioinformatics Suite For End-to-end Genome-resolved Prokaryotic, (micro)eukaryotic, and Viral Multi-omics From Either Short- or Long-read Sequencing
