Claim: Model organisms (a non-human species) have been used to study DLG3, and animals were watched to determine the effects of deletion.
Evidence: A model organism (often shortened to model) is a non-human species that is extensively studied to understand particular biological phenomena, with the expectation that discoveries made in the model organism will provide insight into the workings of other organisms. Model organisms have been used in the study of DLG3 function. Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.
