Frontiers in Zoology is calling for submissions to our Collection on Establishing methods for gene function studies in emerging model organisms – a brief guide.
Technology has emerged that allows studying gene expression and function in many more organisms than before. Hence, new model organisms can be established thereby broadening the field of questions that can be asked in terms of gene function. However, establishing a functional genetics technique may be out of the comfort zone of respective researchers and a lot of usually non-published knowledge is required for pursuing a promising approach.
De novo assembly of transcriptomes and differential gene expression analysis using short-read data from emerging model organisms – a brief guide
Many questions in biology benefit greatly from the use of a variety of model systems. High-throughput sequencing methods have been a triumph in the democratization of diverse model systems. They allow for the ...
