Amongst these organisms, studies on snoRNAs have mainly been reported with P. falciparum and T. brucei.
Based on research using model organisms, studies that have extended the scope of our understanding of human aging were also presented at the meeting.
These and other microbes can come from bird feces, and sand itself makes a good breeding ground for such organisms, studies have shown.
Compared to other exploited organisms, studies on the domestication of forest trees for timber production are largely missing from the literature.
While topoisomerases are ubiquitous in all organisms, studies have shown that kinetoplastid topoisomerases have some distinguishing features that differentiate the parasite enzyme from its prokaryotic and eukaryotic counterparts.
While these examples provide an invaluable starting point for investigations of RNA-guided gene drives targeting other organisms, studies examining the particular drive, population, and associated ecosystem in question will be needed.
