Tremellomycetes Yeast Genomes Sequenced from the International Space Station

Genome sequencing and assembly data for lower eukaryotic isolates belonging to the class Tremellomycetes, which were collected from the International Space Station. The data was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated in March 2026. The specific number of isolates and genome assemblies is not provided in the metadata.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomics of terrestrial and space-exposed Tremellomycetes based on the described genome assemblies.
• Studying genetic adaptations of fungi to spaceflight conditions based on isolates from the International Space Station.
• Phylogenetic analysis of eukaryotic microbial life in closed human habitats based on the described taxonomic class.

Strengths

• Data originates from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a recognized authority in space research.
• Metadata indicates a specific update date of 2026-03-13, suggesting recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
