Space Research

Space research using sequencing and metabolomics is a cutting-edge area of science that is providing new insights into the universe beyond our planet. By studying the DNA and molecules of extraterrestrial life forms, scientists are learning more about the origins and evolution of life in space. This research is also shedding light on the potential for life to exist on other planets. In addition, space research using sequencing and metabolomics is helping us to better understand the impact of meteorites and other space objects on Earth. By understanding these processes, we can better protect our planet from future impacts. As space exploration continues to advance, researchers are using more sophisticated tools to study the effects of microgravity on the human body. One area of focus is the microbiome, the collection of microbes that live on and in humans. Recent studies have shown that the gut microbiome is particularly sensitive to changes in gravity and that astronauts experience significant changes in their gut microbiota during spaceflight.
