This book discusses 14 model organisms and are used by thousands of
researchers, teachers, and students each year in laboratories and
classrooms, around the globe. Though acknowledged in innumerable
scientific journal articles, little is generally known about the
origin of these collections, how the organisms contained within
them have been acquired, and how they are maintained and
distributed. While some collections such as Drosophila have long
histories others, such as the collection of Brachionus, are
relatively new. They vary greatly in size. Yet, all have
contributed and are continuing to contribute to global research
efforts in many areas of scientific research as diverse as tissue
regeneration, skin cancer, evolution, water purity, gene function,
and hundreds of others. In addition to providing the raw materials
for national and international research programs, these collections
also provide educational tools used by colleges and high schools.
The chapters in this book attempt to provide a brief look at the
individual organisms, how they came to be accepted as model
organisms, the history of the individual collections, examples of
how the organisms have been and are being used in scientific
research, and a description of the facilities and procedures used
to maintain them. Features: * Provides an in-depth look at the
collections of 14 model organisms that have enabled innumerable
scientific breakthroughs over decades, and that continue to do so.
* Includes detailed descriptions of the operating procedures used
for the maintenance of each model organism collection. * Discusses
the holdings of the collections of model organisms and its
relevance to past, current and future scientific research. *
Written by the leaders in the field of the management of model
organisms.
