Abstract
The European research community, via European Space Agency (ESA) spaceflight
opportunities, has significantly contributed toward our current understanding of
spaceflight biology. Recent molecular biology experiments include ‘‘omic’’ anal-
ysis, which provides a holistic and systems level understanding of the mechanisms
underlying phenotypic adaptation. Despite vast interest in, and the immense
quantity of biological information gained from space omics research, the knowl-
edge of ESA-related space omics works as a collective remains poorly defined due
to the recent exponential application of omics approaches in space and the
limited search capabilities of pre-existing records. Thus, a review of such contri-
butions is necessary to clarify and promote the development of space omics
among ESA and ESA state members. To address this gap, in this review, we i)
identified and summarized omics works led by European researchers, ii)
geographically described these omics works, and iii) highlighted potential ca-
veats in complex funding scenarios among ESA member states.
