How to Choose a Model Organism?

Download and share our “How to Choose a Model Organism” infographic! We offer an overview of model organisms in research to help you determine which one is most compatible with your research goals.

A Comparative Overview in Choosing the Right Model Organism

In the infographic, you will see a comparison of various model organisms, including mouse, yeast, zebrafish, drosophila, arabidopsis, and frog, based on factors, such as genetic similarity to humans, physiological complexity, ease of genetic manipulation, cost, and more.

We’ve also graphed the model organisms to compare their physiological complexity with their brood size, ease of genetic manipulation, and capability for high-throughput drug screening.

If you’re searching for custom antibodies for your model organism, check out Boster Bio’s custom rabbit polyclonal antibody and custom rabbit monoclonal antibody services. Our lab has worked on hundreds of custom antibody projects for scientists from different universities and organizations.

For scientists working with zebrafish, drosophila, arabidopsis, and other non-traditional organisms, we’re offering a $600 custom antibody promotion just for you! We understand finding good antibodies can be challenging for non-traditional model organisms, so we decided to provide this promotional program that includes antigen design and expression and antibody purification.
