i5K Comments for Parhyale hawaiensis
Parhyale hawaiensis is a model system of growing importance for developmental biology. It has life history characteristics and developmental features which make it a suitable model for basic biomedical questions. The community has developed tools for mis-expression and loss of function studies allowing the molecular mechanisms underpinning developmental and regenerative processes in this animal to be described. In order to fully utilize the Parhyale we require a genome to perform genome wide functional screens and identify cis-regulatory elements. The Parhyale genome is relatively large (determined by Aboobaker+Patel to be approx. 3.6 Gb), but I think that the experimental advantages of the system outweigh this. Obtaining suitable genetic material (in bred lines) is not a problem. The Parhyale research community is still small (~30-40 researchers) but continuously expanding. Aziz Aboobaker
