Bobtail Squid and Vibrio fischeri Symbiosis Multi-Omics Data from Spaceflight

Multi-omics data from an experiment examining the symbiotic relationship between the bobtail squid Euprymna scolopes and the bacterium Vibrio fischeri during spaceflight. The dataset includes transcriptomic, metabolomic, and lipidomic measurements over time, authored by Eric J. Koch and last updated in March 2026. It provides evidence on how beneficial microbes mitigate host stress and accelerate development in microgravity.

Use Cases

• Modeling molecular stress responses in host animals based on transcriptomic data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the impact of microgravity on symbiotic colonization based on multi-omic time-series data
• Studying the acceleration of developmental pathways like neurogenesis based on metabolomic and lipidomic profiles

Strengths

• Data integrates transcriptomic, metabolomic, and lipidomic levels for a multi-faceted analysis
• Dataset is 3.0 MB, indicating a manageable size for download and initial exploration
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for open reuse

Limitations

• Row count and column definitions are unknown, limiting suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data may reflect experimental bias inherent to the specific animal model system used
