Description
NASA's Rodent Research-1 (RR1) Validation Flight dataset contains transcriptomic, proteomic, and epigenomic data from mouse tissues, including kidney, collected during a spaceflight experiment. The data was generated by NASA's GeneLab project to assess the viability of multi-omics analyses on archived samples stored for at least a year at -80°C after return from the International Space Station. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03 13.
Use Cases
Assess spaceflight effects on gene expression based on transcriptomic data from mouse tissues.
Analyze protein-level changes in response to space environments based on proteomic assays.
Investigate epigenetic modifications in space-exposed tissues based on epigenomic data.
Prioritize future rodent research activities on the ISS based on tissue viability and scientific value findings.
Strengths
Data originates from a controlled NASA spaceflight experiment, the Rodent Research-1 mission.
Includes multi-omics data types (transcriptomic, proteomic, epigenomic) from the same investigation.
Tissues were harvested from multiple types, including kidney, adrenal glands, and several muscles.
Limitations
Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Data is stored in BIN file format, which may require specialized tools for access and analysis.
Provenance

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), GeneLab project
Collection Method
Tissues were harvested from mice flown on the RR-1 spaceflight mission, snap-frozen or RNAlater-preserved, and archived at -80°C for at least a year before multi-omics analysis.
Time Range
Temporal coverage is not explicitly stated, but the RR-1 mission occurred prior to the data generation and archival period.
