PRECISION PHENOTYPING USING SCORE SPACE PROXIMITY ANALYSIS

摘要

Methods are provided for determining the level of perturbation of a phenotype in an organism using a multivariate statistical analysis. The method comprises a first step of collecting at least one measurement from at least one control group of organisms and at least one experimental group of organisms to produce a set of data. The method further comprises a second step of using a processor to conduct a multivariate statistical analysis on the set of data to determine the level of perturbation of a phenotype or trait of interest in the experimental group of organisms. Methods are further provided for selecting a group of organisms based on the multivariate statistical analysis.
