Non-model model organisms [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2017 Model organisms are widely used in research as accessible and convenient systems to study a particular area or question in biology. Traditionally only a handful of organisms have been widely studied, but modern research tools are enabling researchers to extend the set of model organisms to include less-studied and more unusual systems.

A Fetching Model Organism [PDF]
Cell, 2006 The creation of the domestic dog and its many breeds has been an ongoing experiment in the rapid evolution of form and function. Now, advances in genomics have made Canis familiaris genetically tractable and poised to offer insights into evolution, development, and behavior.

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.

Modeling Congenital Disorders of N-Linked Glycoprotein Glycosylation in Drosophila melanogaster
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 Protein glycosylation, the enzymatic addition of N-linked or O-linked glycans to proteins, serves crucial functions in animal cells and requires the action of glycosyltransferases, glycosidases and nucleotide-sugar transporters, localized in the ...

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.

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).
