The pre-defined values for certain properties are listed below.
| Cell phenotype criterion polarity | Definition |
|---|---|
| Positive positive |
For a binary/trinary cell phenotype criterion, the presence or most-abundance indicator. (CLO:0054406) |
| Negative negative |
For a binary/trinary cell phenotype criterion, the absence or least-abundance indicator. |
| Low low |
For a trinary cell phenotype criterion, the intermediate value. |
| Condition considered | Definition |
|---|---|
| Viability viability |
An organismal quality inhering in a bearer or a population by virtue of the bearer's disposition to survive. (PATO:0000169) |
| Diagnosis result | Definition |
|---|---|
| Alive alive |
A viability quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's condition before death. (PATO:0001421) |
| Document structure class | Definition |
|---|---|
| Article article |
Nonfictional prose forming an independent part of a publication. (NCIT:C47902) |
| Dataset dataset |
The release of research data, associated metadata, accompanying documentation, and software code (in cases where the raw data have been processed or manipulated) for re-use and analysis in such a manner that they can be discovered on the Web and referred to in a unique and persistent way. Data publishing occurs via dedicated data repositories. (T4FS:0000247) |
| Mechanism of target marking | Definition |
|---|---|
| Immunohistochemistry immunohistochemistry |
An immunostaining assay to detect and potentially localize antigens within the cells of a tissue section. (OBI:0001986) |
| Immunofluorescence immunofluorescence |
A marking system in which the antibody is conjugated to a fluorophore, the latter rendered observable by active imaging, the process consisting of excitation of the specimen and observation of emission at specific wavelengths. (ECO:0000007) |
| Multiplexed immunohistochemistry multiplexed_immunohistochemistry |
Immunohistochemistry in which a special procedure is used to allow simultaneous or sequential staining on the same specimen. |
| Multiplexed immunofluorescence multiplexed_immunofluorescence |
Immunofluorescence in which a special procedure is used to allow simultaneous or sequential staining on the same specimen. (OBI:0003091) |
| In situ hybridization in_situ_hybridization |
An assay that localizes a specific DNA or RNA sequence within a portion or section of tissue using artificially induced nucleic hybridization. (OBI:0001686) |
| Fluorescence in situ hybridization fluorescence_in_situ_hybridization |
An in-situ hybridization assay in which fluorescently labeled molecules are used to localize specific DNA or RNA sequences. (OBI:0003094) |
| Flow cytometry flow_cytometry |
A cytometry assay in which an input cell population is put in solution, is passed by a laser, and optical sensors are used to detect scattering of the laser light and/or fluorescence of specific markers to count and characterize the particles in solution. (OBI:0000916) |
| Imaging mass cytometry imaging_mass_cytometry |
A cytometry time of flight assay in which molecules of interest on or in cells are imaged through a system in which samples are labeled with multiple different rare-earth tagged antibodies. The sample is then ablated with a laser and the labeled material is detected by cytometry time of flight mass spectrometry. (OBI:0003096) |
| Shape specification file format | Definition |
|---|---|
| ESRI Shapefile SHP esri_shapefile_shp |
ESRI Shapefile .shp portion, feature geometry. Often the contents should be a single point or a single closed polygon. |
| Portable network graphics mask portable_network_graphics_mask |
A Portable Network Graphics (PNG) file with 2-bit depth (monochrome). The 1 value indicates membership in the shape structure, and the 0 value indicates non-membership. (NCIT:C85437) |
