A model organism is a non-human species that is extensively studied to understand particular biological phenomena, with the expectation that discoveries...

Model organisms are specific organisms studied to gain knowledge of other organisms, to generalize both within and between species. Model organisms offer...

A microorganism, or microbe, is an organism of microscopic size, which may exist in its single-celled form or as a colony of cells. The possible existence...

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. The exact definition...

flipping over itself. H. vulgaris is often used, like many hydra, as a model organism for morphallactic regeneration because they are easy to care for, requiring...

live as long as 70 years. Strongylocentrotus purpuratus is used as a model organism and its genome was the first echinoderm genome to be sequenced. The...
