Master's Projects

Space travel presents inherent risks to human health and a better understanding of space biology is required to mitigate harm in an oncoming age of increased space travel. Omics analysis will play a central role in better understanding human health in space. In this project, differential gene expression analysis was performed on GLDS-104, an open science dataset provided by NASA’s GeneLab. GeneLab’s RNA-Seq Consensus Pipeline was implemented using Nextflow, performed on San Jose State University’s College of Science High Performance Computing Cluster, and optimized for computational resource efficiency. Comparison of the Nextflow implemention developed in this project to GeneLab’s posted …
