Guest Edited by Michalis Averof and Chiara Sinigaglia
Many exciting, unresolved questions in biology lie outside the reach of classic model organisms. The Emerging Systems series presents established but lesser known experimental organisms that broaden the scope of biological research. These articles highlight the importance of developing new experimental approaches to explore diverse questions, the challenges in doing this, and the appeal of exploiting the unique features of each species.
