You have highlighted the potentials of A. thaliana quite well. I do not know if there are some breakthrough researches in which it's gene has been manipulated to solve real human genetic puzzles. I have read so much about it's potentials long before now. Is it the only organism with such simple genome? Just wondering if the pea plant used by Mendel and the Drosophilia melanogaster fit into the same category. I am too lazy to check on these things but won't mind being enlightened

I did mention the fruit fly, didn't I? :P
Oh. you did. I tend to recognize scientific names easier than English names. Probably @aamin is suffering from same issue
True, I should be more scientific
I want to be able to say the same thing. I tend to recognize plants and animals in the language I learned them, which means sometimes I can recognize things in Italian or Spanish, that I can't in English. In 2018, I want to focus on the scientific names to make it easier.
