The OSD758 R data package provides a compact, real-world example dataset for illustrating RNA-seq analysis workflows using the DESeq2 package in R. It includes sample metadata and both raw gene expression counts derived from retinal tissues of mice subjected to varying levels of artificial gravity during spaceflight. The dataset, originally published in NASA’s Open Science Data Repository (OSD-758), offers a biologically meaningful and technically appropriate starting point for teaching, demonstration, or method development in differential gene expression analysis.
