The Model Organisms Database (MOD)

The Model Organisms Database (MOD) is a specialized online resource that provides detailed genetic and biological information about "model organisms"—species like mice, fruit flies, and worms—that scientists study to understand human biology and disease. By organizing data such as genes, proteins, and functions, MOD helps researchers access and compare information across species, accelerating discoveries in medicine and biology. Essentially, it's a centralized platform that supports scientific research by making complex biological data more accessible and manageable.
