Spaceflight Host-Microbe Interactions: Transcriptomic, Metabolomic, and Lipidomic Data

Eric J. Koch published this dataset on figshare in 2026. It contains multi-omic data from an experiment on the bobtail squid Euprymna scolopes and its symbiotic bacterium Vibrio fischeri during spaceflight. The data likely includes transcriptomic, metabolomic, and lipidomic measurements to study how beneficial microbes affect host stress and development in microgravity.

Use Cases

• Modeling host stress response mitigation based on transcriptomic data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the acceleration of developmental pathways like neurogenesis using multi-omic data
• Studying microbial colonization of host tissues in microgravity environments
• Investigating the stability of symbiotic relationships under spaceflight conditions

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Data integrates transcriptomic, metabolomic, and lipidomic levels for a multi-faceted analysis.
• Focus on a defined model system (Euprymna scolopes and Vibrio fischeri) provides experimental control.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 156.6 KB file size suggests a limited scope of data.
