Guidelines for managing and using the digital phenotypes of pluripotent stem cell lines

Abstract

Each pluripotent stem cell line has a physical entity as well as a digital phenotype, but linking the two unambiguously is confounded by poor naming practices and assumed knowledge. Registration gives each line a unique and persistent identifier that links to phenotypic data generated over the lifetime of that line. Registration is a key recommendation of the 2023 ISSCR Standards for the use of human stem cells in research. Here we consider how community adoption of stem cell line registration could facilitate the establishment of integrated digital phenotypes of specific human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) lines.
