PhenomeNET: a whole-phenome approach to disease gene discovery
Phenotypes are investigated in model organisms to understand and reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying disease. Phenotype ontologies were developed to capture and compare phenotypes within the context of a single species. Recently, these ontologies were augmented with formal class definitions that may be utilized to integrate phenotypic data and enable the direct comparison of phenotypes b...
متن کاملCLARITY and PACT-based imaging of adult zebrafish and mouse for whole-animal analysis of infections.
Visualization of infection and the associated host response has been challenging in adult vertebrates. Owing to their transparency, zebrafish larvae have been used to directly observe infection in vivo; however, such larvae have not yet developed a functional adaptive immune system. Cells involved in adaptive immunity mature later and have therefore been difficult to access optically in intact ...
متن کاملWhole-animal imaging of neural activity
Cell-to-cell heterogeneity is important in many biological processes. Although genomic and transcriptomic approaches to detect this heterogeneity are available, measuring the proteomes of single cells presents a much greater challenge. Herr, Schaffer and colleagues describe a western blotting approach for single cells, allowing the multiplex detection of up to 11 proteins per cell for ~2,000 ce...
متن کاملImaging zebrafish neural circuitry from whole brain to synapse
Recent advances in imaging tools are inspiring zebrafish researchers to tackle ever more ambitious questions in the neurosciences. Behaviorally fundamental conserved neural networks can now be potentially studied using zebrafish from a brain-wide scale to molecular resolution. In this perspective, we offer a roadmap by which a zebrafish researcher can navigate the course from collecting neural ...
متن کاملThe Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project (EPGP) informatics platform
BACKGROUND The Epilepsy Phenome/Genome Project (EPGP) is a large-scale, multi-institutional, collaborative network of 27 epilepsy centers throughout the U.S., Australia, and Argentina, with the objective of collecting detailed phenotypic and genetic data on a large number of epilepsy participants. The goals of EPGP are (1) to perform detailed phenotyping on 3750 participants with specific forms...
