HTPmod is an interactive web tool for modeling and visualization of large-scale datasets from high-throughput plant phenotyping (HTP) or high-throughput sequencing (HTS) experiments. It consists of three function modules.

  • growMod was developed for plant growth modeling based on time-series data, e.g., from HTP experiments[1].

  • predMod was implemented with several prediction models that can be used to understand which among the independent measurements are related to the desirable target trait, and to dissect the forms of these relationships. For example, such prediction models have been widely used to model the contribution of chromatin features to the change of gene expression[2-7], and to predict plant biomass from image-derived features[8-12].

  • htpdVis was developed to explore and visualize high-dimensional data using machine learning approaches such as principal component analysis (PCA), t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE), self-organizing map (SOM), multidimensional scaling (MDS), K-means clustering (K-MC) or hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) with heatmap.
