Contribution of model organism phenotypes to the computational identification of human disease genes
Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2022 Computing phenotypic similarity helps identify new disease genes and diagnose rare diseases. Genotype–phenotype data from orthologous genes in model organisms can compensate for lack of human data and increase genome coverage.

Models of Organic Organization in Montpellier Vitalism [PDF]
Early Science and Medicine, 2017 The species of vitalism discussed here is a malleable construct, often with a poisonous reputation (but one which I want to rehabilitate), hovering in between the realms of the philosophy of biology, the history of medicine, and the scientific background of the Radical Enlightenment (case in point, the influence of vitalist medicine on Diderot).

Yeast as a Model Organism [PDF]
Science, 1997 Yeast have many genes with homologs in humans. Has our understanding of these genes helped our understanding of human biology or disease? In his Perspective, Botstein argues "yes" and, as an example, discusses a report in this week9s issue by Sinclair et al.
