Phenomics
Systematic study of phenotypes / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short by simply answering these key questions:
Can you list the top facts and stats about Phenomics?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Phenomics is the systematic study of traits that make up an organisms phenotype, [1] [2] which changes over time, due to development and aging or through metamorphosis such as when a caterpillar changes into a butterfly. The term phenomics was coined by UC Berkeley and LBNL scientist Steven A. Garan.[3][4] As such, it is a transdisciplinary area of research that involves biology, data sciences, engineering and other fields. Phenomics is concerned with the measurement of the phenotype where a phenome is a set of traits (physical and biochemical traits) that can be produced by a given organism over the course of development and in response to genetic mutation and environmental influences.
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: References need to be checked whether they actually support the statements made. I checked a few and neither even mentioned "phenome" or "phenomics". (August 2023) |
An organism's phenotype changes with time. The relationship between phenotype and genotype enables researchers to understand and study pleiotropy.[5] Phenomics concepts are used in functional genomics, pharmaceutical research, metabolic engineering, agricultural research, and increasingly in phylogenetics.[6]
Technical challenges involve improving, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the capacity to measure phenomes.[5]
