Conventional breeding can be complemented by different strategies that increase the efficiency of methodologies and current rate in yields order to meet demand. The use molecular markers with aim developing linkage maps species, Blup (Best Linear Unbiased Prediction) for an efficient selection progenitors hybridize, vitro culture artificially number F1 plants or digital phenotyping characteriza...

A new method for phenotyping human serum arylesterase (EC 3.1.1.2) is described and evaluated. The aromatic esters, phenyl acetate and 4-nitrophenyl acetate, were compared as substrates for spectrophotometric measurement of arylesterase activity. A method for arylesterase phenotyping, based upon inhibition of the enzymatic hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl acetate by phenyl acetate, was developed. Th...

Active learning is a popular research area in machine learning and general domain natural language processing (NLP) communities. However, its applications to the clinical domain have been studied very little and no work has been done on using active learning for phenotyping tasks. In this paper we experiment with a specific kind of active learning known as uncertainty sampling in the context of...

Plant phenotyping is a time consuming, labour intensive, error prone process of measuring the physical properties of plants. We present a scalable robotic system which employs computer vision and machine learning to phenotype plants rapidly. It maintains high throughput making multiple phenotyping measurements during the plant lifecycle in plots containing thousands of plants. Our novel approac...

We propose a novel concept and tool kit for predictive phenotyping. The proposed technology measures respiration properties as functions of growth conditions to identify genotypes with higher plasticity via homeostasis and adaptive morphophysiology. Combining calorespirometry, oxygen isotope analysis and functional-marker-assisted selection ('CalOxy-FMAS') for genotype screening will enable pre...

Drug testing with traditional behavioral assays constitutes a major bottleneck in the development of novel therapies. PsychoGenics developed three comprehensive high-throughput systems, SmartCube(®), NeuroCube(®) and PhenoCube(®) systems, to increase the efficiency of the drug screening and phenotyping in rodents. These three systems capture different domains of behavior, namely, cognitive, mot...

Recent advances in the isolation of single cell-types in plants provides an opportunity to conduct detailed analyses of their molecular characteristics at high resolution. This kind of cell-type specific molecular phenotyping is likely to enhance forward genetics studies to dissect the effect of mutations and thereby aid gene function assignment. Recent experimental results support this view, d...

It is established that in treatment of tuberculosis, slow inactivators of isoniazid are more prone to side effects from the drug (1-3), whereas fast inactivators respond less favorably to marginal chemotherapy in which this drug is administered intermittently or for a limited period (4-8). Therefore, phenotyping of patients for isoniazid inactivation became important in the initiation of long-t...

Today, the technology of 'targeted' based metabolomics is pivotal in the clinical analysis workflow as it provides information of metabolic phenotyping (metabotypes) by enhancing our understanding of metabolism of complex diseases, biomarker discovery for disease development, progression, treatment, and drug function and assessment. This review is focused on surveying and providing a gap analys...
