Rather than analysis of single molecules or pathways, omics platforms analyze entire classes of biomolecules. RNA is at the center of orchestrating the molecular response of all living cells to their environment. Hence, the omics analysis of RNA (transcriptomics) can provide a holistic view on how the living organism perceives and reacts to the environment. This holistic view places transcriptomics in a unique position to serve as a complex sensor for monitoring living organisms during spaceflight missions, unparalleled in scope by the traditional sensors.
