Many studies focusing on human disease have employed use non-human
primate (NHP) or mamalian animal subjects, such as Rhesus monkeys and mice,
respectively. Other organisms, however,
have genes comparable to those of people and the utility of their genomes being
mapped for similar studies can be unfortunatey overlooked. By observing zebrafish, genetic information
crucial to the underlying mechanism of Native American myopathy has been
gained. What major limitations do the
original researchers account for (original article citation is included at the
bottom)? Are their conclusions fairly
and accurately summarized by Science Daily?
