The improvements in crop production needed to meet the increasing food demand in the 21st Century will rely on improved crop management and better crop varieties. In the last decade our ability to use genetics and genomics in crop science has been revolutionised, but these advances have not been matched by our ability to phenotype crops. As rapid and effective phenotyping is the basis of any la...

With the commercialization and increasing availability of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) multiple rotor copters have expanded rapidly in plant phenotyping studies with their ability to provide clear, high resolution images. As such, the traditional bottleneck of plant phenotyping has shifted from data collection to data processing. Fortunately, the necessarily controlled and repetitive design ...

This report describes the experience of the Southeastern Cancer Study Group (SECSG) with a transport medium used for immunologic phenotyping of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. In a 2-mo pilot study, portions of 53 specimens of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma from four member institutions of the SECSG and affiliated community hospitals were sent by regular mail to a central laboratory. Immunologic phenotyping w...

The field of mouse phenotyping with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is rapidly growing, motivated by the need for improved tools for characterizing and evaluating mouse models of human disease. MRI is an excellent modality for investigating genetically altered animals. It is capable of whole brain coverage, can be used in vivo, and provides multiple contrast mechanisms for investigating differ...

Phenotyping with electronic health records (EHR) has received much attention in recent years because the phenotyping opens a new way to discover clinically meaningful insights, such as disease progression and disease subtypes without human supervisions. In spite of its potential benefits, the complex nature of EHR often requires more sophisticated methodologies compared with traditional methods...

The Mouse Genetics Project (MGP) at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute aims to generate and phenotype over 800 genetically modified mouse lines over the next 5 years to gain a better understanding of mammalian gene function and provide an invaluable resource to the scientific community for follow-up studies. Phenotyping includes the generation of a standardized biobank of paraffin-embedded tis...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of autoantibodies with mimicking specificity by using the dilution technique, to assess the usefulness of the combination of the dilution technique and red blood cell (RBC) phenotyping, and to establish a pre-transfusion testing algorithm in patients with warm autoantibodies. METHODS Serum samples from 71 patients with warm aut...
