Lessons from model organisms: phenotypic robustness and missing heritability in complex disease.
Genetically tractable model organisms from phages to mice have taught us invaluable lessons about fundamental biological processes and disease-causing mutations. Owing to technological and computational advances, human biology and the causes of human diseases have become accessible as never before....
