Think Alternative: Insights from Unconventional Model Organisms

The Vienna Biocenter PhD-Students' Symposium 2011 will explore benefits of unconventional model organisms for research.

An important step in trying to address a scientific question is to determine which organism would be best suited to tackle it. In many cases, the standard model organisms may not be the ideal choice. A broader understanding of the existing diversity is therefore beneficial to overcome limitations of standard model organisms.
Several important discoveries have been made in unconventional models; the natural world is full of surprises, and this will be a great opportunity to emphasize some of these unexpected findings.
With the burst of sequencing capabilities, the lack of genome sequences will soon cease to be a limiting factor in the development of emerging model organisms. Thus, new model model organisms can overcome the limitations of current model organisms. They can, and have, resulted in important discoveries, and they are becoming simpler to use by the day.

Help

Search / advanced search of the idw archives
Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
