The fungus's major concern is to spread its spores, a matter of some technical difficulty for an organism that lives underground.
A variety of technological advances in recent years have made permanent genetic manipulation of an organism a technical possibility.
We created a methodology to identify from the fluorescence spectra a universal independent threshold value for determining high-risk tissues for cancer development, eliminating possible measurement variations, depending on individual characteristics of the organism and technical errors.
The role of environmental reservoirs in H. pylori transmission remains uncertain due to technical difficulties in detecting living organisms in sources outside the stomach.
Even if the technical noise is low, individual organisms have biological differences, and some genes may frequently and drastically change their expression levels according to biological requirements.
We described the 187 models, by recording the parameters describing (i) the biology of the target organism, (ii) the technical properties of the model, (iii) the resistance management strategies tested and (iv) the criteria used to evaluate the evolution of resistance.
Nevertheless, selection of a model organism based on accumulated technical experience and on availability of experimental techniques does not guarantee representative results in other organisms.
If this is the case, most genetic variation has no impact on fitness — the technical term for how good an organism is at surviving and reproducing.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.05338.001 In the last few decades, technical advances in altering the genes of organisms have led to many discoveries about how genes work.
However, considering current technical limitations and laboratory difficulties studying nonmodel organisms with SNP, only a relatively small number of SNPs were available in this study.
