Heritability Analysis Suggests Comparable Genetic Component of Mechanical Pain Threshold and Tolerance: Table 1

Future of biobanks – bigger, longer, and more dimensional

“…This resource currently collects over 800 phenotypic measurements, including blood, sera, and urine samples coupled with dried blood spots (17), anthropometrical and clinical measurements, a wide set of biochemical measurements including over 240 lipidomic fractions, over 140 N-glycans, extensive survey information and cognition-based traits. Furthermore, two new lines of measurements have been recently initiated, “sensomics” and “anthropomics.” The first includes hearing, smell, taste, and pain thresholds, coupled with a large number of perception and cognition measurements obtained from the complex reactiometer Drenovac (CRD) apparatus (18,19). The second, “anthropomics,” includes detailed imaging techniques, with cone-beam tomography of the teeth and a 3D scan of the face, while 3D scan of the entire body surface is planned in the future.…”
