Transcription profiling of Drosophila after exposure to microgravity in the International Space Station and in a microgravity simulator

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: August 12, 2026 at 01:21 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 23, 2025
Larvae-Pupae transition flies (Drosophila) were recovered and transport for 3 days at 12-14C to arrest development until the launch site then exposed to RT (18-20C) for some hours including the launch and trip to the International Space Station then pupae were exposed to microgravity in the ISS for 4 days and a half at 22C. Finally pupae were fixed on acetone and frozen until recovery on Earth. Four groups of samples: 1 ISS (+ground control) as described 2 RPM (microgravity simulator on Earth) as described 3 RPM without constrains (No MAMBA container and only 5 days exposure without cold transport) and 4 centrifuge 10g without constrains control.
