Publication number: 20200357486Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media storing executable instructions are provided for improving performance of an organism with respect to a phenotype of interest at a second scale based upon measurements at a first scale. First scale performance data based at least in part upon observed first performance of first organisms at a first scale and second scale performance data based at least in part upon observed second performance of second organisms at a second scale larger than the first scale are accessed. A prediction function based at least in part upon the relationship of the second scale performance data to the first scale performance data is generated. The prediction function may be applied to performance data observed for test organisms with respect to the phenotype of interest at the first scale to generate second scale predicted performance data for the test organisms at the second scale.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2018Publication date: November 12, 2020Applicant: Zymergen Inc.Inventors: Stefan De Kok, Peter Enyeart, Richard Hansen, Trent Hauck, Zachariah Serber, Amelia Taylor, Thomas Treynor, Kristina Tyner, Sarah Lieder
