Sentences with phrase «model organisms because»

Not exact matches

Birch and Cobb maintain that the ecological model is more adequate than the mechanical model for explaining DNA, the cell, other biological subject matter (as well as subatomic physics), because it holds that living things behave as they do only in interaction with other things which constitute their environment (LL 83) and because «the constituent elements of the structure at each level (of an organism) operate in patterns of interconnectedness which are not mechanical» (LL 83).

Abrams works on jellyfish, and he suggested that one of these creatures would be a suitable model organism, because jellies have neurons but no central nervous system.

«It's always been hard to work with a new organism,» says Jarvis, «CRISPR is awesome because suddenly, you don't have to spend decades developing a model.»

Because these organisms are excellent models for understanding stem cell biology, researchers were able to shed light on the earliest stages of follicle cell differentiation, a previously poorly understood area of developmental biology.

This unicellular fungus is often used as a model organism, because it works as a mammalian cell, though it is easier to handle.

Until now, the human gut has been hard to study because it's so different from those in typical model organisms like mice, so these tiny tummies open up a world of possibility.

Vijg argues that findings in model organisms aren't necessarily applicable to humans because these animals are bred to have certain traits.

The zebrafish is a good choice because of its similarity to humans as a vertebrate, its transparency as an embryo, and the powerful genetic tools available in this model organism.

Methanosarcina acetivorans was sequenced in part because genetic tools are available to modify the organism in the laboratory, making it a model species for methanogens.

3 By making mathematical models of the carbon cycle in order to understand how oxygen — critical for large, complex organisms — was able to build up in the atmosphere because of changes in how organic matter decays;

The zebrafish comes close to being the ideal model organism for vertebrate development because it appears to combine the best features of all the other models.

One reason why we know little about this process of telomerase silencing is because specific telomerase regulation naturally occurs only in human cells but not in mouse cells, a widely used model organism where telomerase is active in all cell types.

The most well - studied species on the planet are called model organisms, creatures chosen for intensive research because they are particularly suited to laboratory studies.

The fruit fly is an ideal model organism for such a task, because of its sophisticated genetic tools to analyze neurons and manipulate neural circuits in the brain.

She's also using computer modeling to figure out which reefs are most likely to benefit from the setup of marine protection zones — because a healthy, undisturbed balance of organisms makes the corals more likely to survive global changes.

For even if the models are proven to be wrong with respect to their predictions of atmospheric warming, extreme weather, glacial melt, sea level rise, or any other attendant catastrophe, those who seek to regulate and reduce CO2 emissions have a fall - back position, claiming that no matter what happens to the climate, the nations of the Earth must reduce their greenhouse gas emissions because of projected direct negative impacts on marine organisms via ocean acidification.
