Non-traditional model organisms set to shape biology's future
Original: The brilliant future of non-traditional model organisms in biology
A commentary argues that non-traditional model organisms are entering a brilliant era in biological research. Moving beyond the classic lab standards such as fruit flies and mice, researchers are increasingly turning to lesser-studied species, aided by cheaper sequencing and gene-editing tools. The piece suggests these organisms can reveal broader biological principles and answer questions conventional models cannot address, positioning them as central to the field's next phase.
Why now: Falling sequencing and gene-editing costs are prompting scientists to broaden research beyond classic model organisms.
