FlyBook continues the GSA's long tradition of supporting, promoting, and presenting model organism research.
Finally, we showed that microbiological databases have serious anthropocentric biases, which impacts model organism research.
Most would agree that we have to continue to fund and perpetuate model organism research.
A major need is a disease classification that will support structured access to animal models through their relationship to genetic diseases, the classic objective of model organism research.
Brummelkamp used traditional insertional mutagenesis to identify essential human genes, bringing classic tools of model organism research to human genetic analysis.
As a resource, modENCODE serves the model organism research communities, and complements the related human ENCODE project (http://www.genome.gov/10005107), with the ultimate objective of advancing comparative genomics.
These considerations imply that genome-based student research models with means for targeted dissemination have strong future potential to benefit a wide range of model organism research in ways that mutually benefit undergraduate education.
Gene copy number variation (CNV) is a common form of genome natural diversity that is currently poorly studied in plants and may have broad implications for model organism research, evolutionary biology, and crop science.
Using iguanas as model organisms, his research focuses primarily on understanding the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on endangered taxa and designing conservation strategies to prevent further population declines and habitat degradation.
The use of model organisms for research is a hallmark of scientific endeavor (e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]).
