Phenomics

Phenomics describes the state of an organism as it changes with time.

The word was coined by Steven A. Garan, Director of the Aging Research Centre (ARC) at a guest lecture he gave at the University of Waterloo in 1996.

• Australian Phenomics Facility
• The Consortium for Neuropsychiatric Phenomics at UCLA was established under the aegis of the NIH Roadmap Initiative in 2007 to advance understanding of neuropsychiatric phenotypes on a genome-wide scale.
• Australian Plant Phenomics Facility
