A New Era for Space Life Science: International Standards for Space Omics Processing
(Published Nov 26, 2020)
TMRC Genomics Division members have been involved in the formation of ISSOP (International Standards for Space Omics Processing).
Scientists across the world are conducting space omics studies to develop countermeasures for safe and effective crewed space missions. However, optimal extraction of scientific insight from such data is contingent on improved standardization.
ISSOP has been founded as an international consortium of scientists who aim to enhance guidelines between space biologists globally.
This paper informs scientists and data scientists from many fields about the challenges and future avenues of space omics and can serve as an introductory reference for new members in the space biology discipline.
