Some Important Model Organisms ➢Escherichia coli and its phage (the T phage and phage λ) ➢Baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae ➢The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans ➢The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster ➢The house mouse Mus musculus
Features of Model systems The availability of powerful tools of traditional and molecular genetics. The study of each model system attracted a critical mass of investigators. (Ideas, methods, tools and strains could be shared)

HOW to choose a model organism? It depends on what question is being asked. When studying fundamental issues of molecular bIologY, sImpler unicellular organisms or viruses are convenient, For developmental questions, more complicated organisms should be used
