Space Biology Data Visualization Apps

 A collaboration between NASA GeneLab and the Gilroy Lab has led to a multi-omics, cross-species analysis of GeneLab omics data, creating a new NASA Space Biology sponsored investigation into the effects of spaceflight and microgravity simulations on plant-microbe interactions.

A suite of visualization tools to explore relationships between studies within the GeneLab data repository has been created by Richard Barker, a member of the Gilroy Lab at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and co-lead of the GeneLab Plant Analysis Working Group (AWG). These apps aggregate diverse data types and allow users to find associations between the distinct GeneLab accessions. This has allowed the identification of new correlations in the data leading to the generation of novel hypotheses and the creation of protocols for experimental validation.
