Taking Stock of the Drosophila Research Ecosystem
David Bilder and Kenneth D. Irvine Genetics July 1, 2017 vol. 206 no. 3 1227-1236; https://doi.org/10.1534/genetics.117.202390 Abstract With a century-old history of fundamental discoveries, the fruit fly has long been a favored experimental organism...
Developmental Biology: Introduction to C. elegans
Unit 1, Lecture 4: Sydney's Choice. Overview of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans
Developmental Biology: Introduction to Drosophila
Unit 1, Lecture 3: How the Maggot Gets Its Stripes. Overview of the model organism Drosophila melanogaster Nice illustrated explanation (it's funny how is censored the flies mating. Why?)
The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS)
The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides continuous data and information on atmospheric composition. The service describes the current situation, forecasts the situation a few days ahead, and analyses consistently retrospective data...
The European amphioxus (Branchiostoma lanceolatum)
Insights into spawning behavior and development of the European amphioxus (Branchiostoma lanceolatum). Fuentes M1, Benito E, Bertrand S, Paris M, Mignardot A, Godoy L, Jimenez-Delgado S, Oliveri D, Candiani S, Hirsinger E, D'Aniello S, Pascual-Anaya J,...
Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative
The Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative was launched in September 2011 and is open to all those interested in developing a coherent platform for promoting the translation of expert knowledge on soil biodiversity into environmental policy and sustainable...
Model Organisms: yeast, Drosophila and C. elegans
This unique Science Education collection features three model organisms commonly used in life sciences research: S. cerevisiae (Baker’s Yeast), D. melanogaster (the fruit fly), and C. elegans (nematode roundworm). In addition to discussing the current...
California academy of sciences diatom collection
The CAS Diatom Collection Web Site is an ongoing project to present taxonomic information, images, records of collections, and references pertaining to diatoms. This work has been supported in part by grants BSR-9017609 and DEB-9505269 from the National...
Caenorhabditis elegans: WormTox project
Dans un précédent article, je présentais le programme américain Tox21 qui a pour objectif d’évaluer rapidement la toxicité de milliers de substances chimiques. Une des approches de ce programme est l’utilisation du vers Caenorhabditis elegans comme modèle...
Caenorhabditis elegans : behavioral assays
Caenorhabditis elegans (nematod) is a good laboratory model to behavioral studies. In this publication, basic considerations for behavioral assays are very briefly examined. Both general considerations and admonitions relevant to C. elegans behavioral...
Measuring Caenorhabditis elegans Life Span in 96 Well Microtiter Plates
Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the principle models used to study aging because of its excellent genetics and short lifespan of three weeks. More recently, C.elegans has emerged as a model organism for phenotype based drug screens because of its small...
Screening of EPA’s ToxCast libraries using a C. elegans growth assay
En juin 2011 s'est tenu à l'Université de Californie (Los Angeles, USA) le " 18th International C. elegans Meeting ". Parmi toutes les présentations, je soulignerai ce poster (voir ci-dessous le résumé) en lien avec le sujet que j'ai abordé dans un précédent...
The Toxicology in the 21st Century (Tox21) : un robot pour évaluer la toxicité des substances chimiques
Au sein de nos sociétés modernes, des dizaines de milliers de substances chimiques (molécules organiques, métaux, radionucléides, nanoparticules,...) sont actuellement en circulation et des centaines de nouvelles substances sont introduites chaque année....
Daphnia pulex Genome
"The water flea, Daphnia, represents a major taxonomic lineage of aquatic arthropod diversity. Colbourne et al. (p. 555 ; see the Perspective by Ebert ) present Daphnia's tiny genome, which nevertheless contains a large inventory of genes with many duplicated...
AlgaeBase
What is AlgaeBase? AlgaeBase is a database of information on algae that includes terrestrial, marine and freshwater organisms. At present, the data for the marine algae, particularly seaweeds, are the most complete. For convenience, we have included the...
