Daphnia as an Emerging Epigenetic Model Organism
Daphnia offer a variety of benefits for the study of epigenetics. Daphnia's parthenogenetic life cycle allows the study of epigenetic effects in the absence of confounding genetic differences. Sex determination and sexual reproduction are epigenetically determined as are several other well-studied alternate phenotypes that arise in response to environmental stressors. Additionally, there is a l...
متن کاملVirus as Organism
Szent-Gy6rgi. The nerve is described as an electro-chemical generator, although it is admitted that the events at the synapses are pirobably "not purely electrical." The theory envisages the electrotonic current as the "master tool of nervous integration." This may be true, but probably will not be proven for many years. In the meanwhile it is confusing to use the vocabulary of the electrical p...
متن کاملAdaptation as organism design.
The problem of adaptation is to explain the apparent design of organisms. Darwin solved this problem with the theory of natural selection. However, population geneticists, whose responsibility it is to formalize evolutionary theory, have long neglected the link between natural selection and organismal design. Here, I review the major historical developments in theory of organismal adaptation, c...
متن کاملYeast biofilm colony as an orchestrated multicellular organism
Although still often considered as simple unicellular organisms, in natural settings yeast cells tend to organize into intricate multicellular communities. Due to specific mechanisms only feasible at the population level, their capacity for social behavior is advantageous for their survival in a harmful environment. Feral Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains form complex structured colonies, which ...
متن کاملBranhamella catarrhalis: an organism gaining respect as a pathogen.
Branhamella catarrhalis was formerly regarded as a common, essentially harmless inhabitant of the pharynx. This misapprehension was caused, in part, by confusion with another pharyngeal resident, Neisseria cinerea. The two organisms can now be differentiated by the positive reactions of B. catarrhalis in tests for nitrate reduction and hydrolysis of tributyrin and DNase. B. catarrhalis is curre...
