What is it about?
An analysis of the effects of microgravity and space radiation on astronauts’ RNA expression has been developed, utilizing data from NASA’s “Cell-Free RNA Analysis of Plasma Samples Collected from Six Astronauts in JAXA Cell-Free Epigenome (CFE) Study.” The project aims to deepen our understanding of how the space environment affects gene expression, particularly in key genes such as ACTB and ACTG1, by employing quantum simulations and unconventional logic, including quantum and fuzzy logic. The results suggest that specific genes like ACTB and ACTG1 undergo significant changes in their expression under these unique conditions. This interdisciplinary approach allows for a detailed analysis of gene expression data and explores the potential of emerging technologies in space research and bioinformatics.

Why is it important?
It is a scalable method for analyzing gene expression with quantum computing.
Perspectives
Quantum computing offers the potential for vast parallelism and complex problem-solving capabilities, which can be highly beneficial in analyzing the multidimensional and often noisy data associated with gene expression. Meanwhile, fuzzy logic provides a nuanced framework for handling uncertainty and imprecision, common features in biological data.
