The organism: reality or fiction? [PDF]
What is an ‘organism’? A state of matter, or a particular type of living being chosen as an experimental object, like the fruit fly or the roundworm c. elegans, which are ‘model organisms’?

Digital dissection of the model organism Xenopus laevis using contrast-enhanced computed tomography [PDF]
The African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, is one of the most widely used model organisms in biological research. However, the most recent anatomical description of X. laevis was produced nearly a century ago.

Human CLPP reverts the longevity phenotype of a fungal ClpP deletion strain [PDF]
Mitochondrial maintenance crucially depends on the quality control of proteins by various chaperones, proteases and repair enzymes. While most of the involved components have been studied in some detail, little is known on the biological role of the ...

Genomic Transformation of the Picoeukaryote Ostreococcus tauri [PDF]
Common problems hindering rapid progress in Plant Sciences include cellular, tissue and whole organism complexity, and notably the high level of genomic redundancy affecting simple genetics in higher plants. The novel model organism Ostreococcus tauri is

Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model Organism to Evaluate the Antioxidant Effects of Phytochemicals
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was introduced as a model organism in biological research by Sydney Brenner in the 1970s. Since then, it has been increasingly used for investigating processes such as ageing, oxidative stress, neurodegeneration, or ...

A Fetching Model Organism [PDF]
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.

Establishment of Neurospora crassa as a model organism for fungal virology
The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is used as a model organism for genetics, developmental biology and molecular biology. Remarkably, it is not known to host or to be susceptible to infection with any viruses.
