The Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA) and international astronaut biobank.

ABSTRACT: Spaceflight induces molecular, cellular and physiological shifts in astronauts and poses myriad biomedical challenges to the human body, which are becoming increasingly relevant as more humans venture into space^1-6. Yet current frameworks for aerospace medicine are nascent and lag far behind advancements in precision medicine on Earth, underscoring the need for rapid development of space medicine databases, tools and protocols. Here we present the Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA), an integrated data and sample repository for clinical, cellular and multi-omic research profiles from a diverse range of missions, including the NASA Twins Study⁷, JAXA CFE study^8,9, SpaceX Inspiration4 crew^10-12, Axiom and Polaris. The SOMA resource represents a mo
