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 Bray-Curtis variation (R2 = 0.489, p < 0.001). In astronaut-only community analyses, mission phase explained 23.4% of genus-level (p = 0.035) and 22.3% of species-level (p = 0.021) variation. Astronauts showed greater displacement from personal baselines than B1 (0.331 versus 0.171) and 1.58-fold higher volatility. Astronaut-only taxon models identified 2 of 81 genera and 5 of 139 species; Collinsella increased from quarantine to orbit (coefficient = 2.586, q = 0.037). Thus, the short-duration spaceflight interval was accompanied by individualized, temporally localized community and taxon shifts rather than uniform microbiota restructuring.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
