Full-length 16S profiling reveals individualized gut microbiota dynamics during short-duration spaceflight

Human spaceflight may perturb the gut microbiota, but densely sampled short missions remain poorly characterized. We profiled 27 phase-matched fecal samples from two astronauts during an 18-day International Space Station mission and one ground-based participant following the same daily schedule using Oxford Nanopore full-length 16S sequencing. Participant identity dominated genus-level…
