Among laboratory animals, this tiny nematode is one of the simplest and easiest organisms to handle.
LGTs and recombination events are not rare, and it is easy for organisms to exchange sequences continuously over different periods of time.
To identify covarying residue pairs between two proteins A and B is not as easy: only organisms that contain an ortholog of protein A and protein B contribute, and in generating the alignments the protein A and protein B sequences for each organism must be properly paired.
Martin Speight, a biological sciences tutor at St Anne's College said he may ask someone "Is it easier for organisms to live in their sea or on land?" And Stephen Tuck from Pembroke College proposed asking budding historians who they would most like to interview from the past and why.
In addition, algae are one of the easiest living organisms to propagate, requiring only sunlight, carbon dioxyde and water to thrive.
Acquiring such knowledge is not easy, especially for organisms like fish that might occupy very different locations in the river over relatively short periods of time.
As such, the particular traits that made our model organisms easy to domesticate need no longer limit the scope of scientific inquiry.
When comfortable, the organisms made quick decisions if the choice was easy and took their time if it was hard.
The contraption, which makes it easier to contain organisms and to extract what they produce, will help Biocon to graduate from novel processes to new drug products, such as genetically engineered anti-infectives.
The authors recommended this treatment for the US context, given the presence of easy-to-treat organisms and non-loosened prosthesis.
