The "Matrix" Meta-data

A truly global collaboration with more data being added every day.

The NASA GeneLab connects the global life science community to space-omics data. It explores data generated from experiments in low earth orbit (LEO), including those on the International Space Station (ISS), space shuttle flights and other more modern missions. The NASA open science repository collects data from various NASA research centers, private and academic research teams that are using modern 'Omics methods to study how life responds to spaceflight stress. Metadata helps identify links between similar experiments to help us interpret the results. The data visualization linked to below tool pulls from the NASA Open Science Repository, which may occasionally contain typos or inconsistencies. This is why we also created the more focused and curated meta-data matrix (See Barker et al., (2023) for more details).

Below: This app contains the meta-data acquired from NASA GeneLab API that was then curated by the NASA Open Science Plant Analysis Working (AWG) group. The cleaned data was then used to make this more plant focus meta-data matrix that incorporated the first 15 spaceflight transcriptomes metadata to help highlight similaritiesbetween these studies.  

Goal: Can you identify connections between different "GLDS" accessions based on similar or distinctly different meta-data factors or parameters?
