Linked from
The 33 pages that link to Model organism, each with the reason it gives.
VertebrateRelated: Fish, frogs, and mammals serve as models for vertebrate development and disease.
ActinopterygiiRelated: Zebrafish are actinopterygians widely used in developmental and biomedical research.
OsteichthyesRelated: Zebrafish, an osteichthyan, is widely used to study development and disease.
Comparative genomicsRelated: Genome comparisons identify which model-organism genes and pathways are shared with humans.
CyprinidaeRelated: Zebrafish offer accessible embryos and powerful tools for studying vertebrate biology.
BiologyRelated: Model organisms let researchers investigate mechanisms under controlled conditions.
BaboonRelated: Baboons are used in biomedical research because of their physiological similarities to humans.
CiliateRelated: Tetrahymena and other ciliates make cell processes experimentally accessible.
Reverse geneticsRelated: Genetic perturbations in tractable organisms can expose gene functions in living systems.
Computational biologyRelated: Computational conclusions drawn from one organism may not transfer cleanly to another.
HalfbeakRelated: Small, fast-breeding halfbeaks are used in research on evolution and adaptation.
BlastocladiomycotaRelated: Allomyces provides experimental access to fungal development and alternation of generations.
Madagascar hissing cockroachRelated: Its size and hardiness make it useful for demonstrations and some behavioral studies, though it is not a standard laboratory model.
BryologyRelated: The moss Physcomitrium patens is used to investigate plant development and evolution.
DytiscusRelated: Dytiscus beetles have served in research on insect respiration, movement, and sensory biology.
PogonaRelated: Central bearded dragons are used in studies of development, behavior, and physiology.
