This lecture highlights the critical role of model organisms in deciphering genetic mechanisms underlying observable phenotypes. It demonstrates how researchers identify genes and pathways responsible for specific traits, from behavior to disease.
MIT 7.016 Introductory Biology, Fall 2018
In this lecture on model organisms, Professor Martin discusses how to go from a phenotype of interest (such as appearance or behavior) to identifying the genes and mechanisms that are important for that trait.
