Use for |
|---|---|---|
Framework-populated image bookkeeping, including image names, UUIDs, file formats, image types, bit depth, and file suffixes. |
Use when reading provenance emitted by PhenoTypic itself; these are not the biological metadata columns users normally supply. |
|
Image acquisition details, including imaging date, instrument, experimenter, resolution, and exposure time. |
Use when tracking imaging batches or diagnosing acquisition effects. |
|
Media, nutrients, supplements, treatments, compounds, doses, and stress conditions applied to colonies. |
Use when comparing phenotypes across growth environments or perturbations. |
|
Experiment-level bookkeeping, including experiment IDs, projects, datasets, protocols, and notes. |
Use when organizing outputs across projects, protocols, or datasets. |
|
Organism and genetic identity, including species, strain, genotype, background, alleles, plasmids, markers, mating type, and ploidy. |
Use when grouping or filtering colonies by genetic background. |
|
Temperature, elapsed time, time units, timepoints, day indices, generation, humidity, and atmosphere. |
Use for time-course analyses and incubation-condition grouping. |
|
Assay plate and physical layout, including plate IDs, batches, array density, and incubator position. |
Use when grouping measurements by plate, batch, or spatial assay layout. |
|
Sample identity and provenance, including sample IDs, replicates, clones, source plate/well, library IDs, barcodes, and controls. |
Use for sample-level biological identity and for linking colonies back to source materials. |
