Aggregated RNA differential expression data and study protocols were shared through the NASA OSDR with accession number: OSD-53072 (link). Plasma cell-free RNA samples for RNA-seq analysis were derived from blood samples collected from 6 astronauts before, during, and after the Spaceflight on the ISS. Mean expression values were obtained from normalized read counts of 6 astronauts for each time point. Heatmaps were made for the 21 genes key genes on the normalized values per time point using R package pheatmap (v1.0.12).
