What Are the Challenges and Risks of High Throughput Phenotyping?

Despite its advantages, HTP also presents various challenges and risks. The initial setup cost for HTP systems can be high, potentially limiting access for researchers in developing regions. There is also the challenge of processing and managing the vast amounts of data generated, requiring significant bioinformatics expertise and infrastructure. Furthermore, there is a risk of data misuse or misinterpretation, which could lead to erroneous conclusions or the perpetuation of biased research outcomes.
