Caenorhabditis elegans, un tipico organismo modello eucariote.

Un organismo modello è una specie estensivamente studiata per comprendere particolari fenomeni biologici, in base al presupposto che le acquisizioni fatte sull'organismo modello possano fornire indicazioni sugli altri organismi. Ciò è possibile grazie al fatto che i principi biologici fondamentali, come le vie metaboliche, di regolazione e di sviluppo, e i geni che le codificano, si mantengono attraverso l'evoluzione.

Il primo organismo modello impiegato in esperimenti rigorosi per la comprensione dell'ereditarietà è stato il Pisum sativum[1] di Gregor Mendel.[2][3] Il pisello da orto infatti risponde a specifiche esigenze di incrocio controllato, rapido passo generazionale, prole numerosa, caratteri fenotipici alternativi e disponibilità di numerose varietà commerciali. Queste caratteristiche lo resero ottimale per un approccio ai problemi della ereditarietà di tipo quantitativo e statistico.

Spesso, gli organismi modello vengono scelti in base alla loro capacità di essere adattabili a manipolazioni sperimentali. Di solito vengono preferite le seguenti caratteristiche: breve ciclo cellulare, tecniche per manipolazione genetica (ceppi inbred, linee di cellule staminali, e sistemi di transfezione). A volte, il riarrangiamento genetico favorisce il sequenziamento del genoma dell'organismo modello, per esempio, perché è molto compatto o per avere scarsa quantità di DNA non codificante, il cosiddetto "DNA spazzatura" (junk DNA).

Esistono numerosi organismi modello. Il primo organismo modello per la biologia molecolare probabilmente è stato il batterio E.coli, comunemente presente nel sistema digerente umano (e di solito ha attività benefica -- il pericoloso ceppo Escherichia coli O157:H7 è raro). Viene utilizzato anche nello studio di molti batteriofagi, specialmente il fago lambda.

Negli eucarioti sono stati studiati approfonditamente alcuni lieviti, specialmente il Saccharomyces cerevisiae (lievito della birra), soprattutto perché sono facili da gestire. Il ciclo cellulare in un lievito è molto simile al ciclo cellulare negli umani ed è regolato da proteine omologhe. È stato studiato anche il moscerino della frutta Drosophila melanogaster, sempre perché è facile da gestire per essere un organismo multicellulare. Il verme Caenorhabditis elegans è stato studiato perché ha stadi di sviluppo estremamente definiti ed è possibile, quindi, rivelare rapidamente delle anormalità.

Quando i ricercatori cercano un organismo da usare nei loro studi, prendono in considerazione parecchie caratteristiche. Le più comuni sono le dimensioni, il tempo di generazione, l'accessibilità, la manipolazione, la genetica, la conservazione dei meccanismi e un potenziale beneficio economico. Con la diffusione della biologia molecolare comparata, i ricercatori hanno cercato organismi modello che rappresentassero diverse tipologie di vita.
