Systemic Phenotyping

The phenotypic analysis of genetically modified mouse models in a systemic, multi-organ approach has become a crucial tool for modern genetics research. INFRAFRONTIER partner institutes are world leaders in systemic phenotyping – and they offer the access to their data, their modern facilities, and their outstanding scientific expertise to all interested research partners in the scientific community.

INFRAFRONTIER Systemic Phenotyping Service

First described by Gailus-Durner et al. (2009), systemic phenotyping is a broad screening pipeline where mice are analysed systematically covering a wide range of tests to identify novel phenotypes. In other words, it is the systematic analysis of mutant mice through a standardised phenotyping pipeline across a range of biological systems. This type of phenotyping is carried out in mouse clinics within the INFRAFRONTIER consortium and requires large-scale capacity, broad expertise, specific equipment, and dedicated infrastructure.

Systemic phenotyping includes the analysis of:

Energy & Metabolism
Vision
Nervous System
Muscles & Bones
Cardiovascular System
Blood Chemistry
Reproductive System
Hearing
Immune System
