The skin microbiome of Xenopus laevis and the effects of husbandry conditions
Animal Microbiome, 2021 Background Historically the main source of laboratory Xenopus laevis was the environment. The increase in genetically altered animals and evolving governmental constraints around using wild-caught animals for research has led to the establishment of ...

Evolutionary divergence in tail regeneration between Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis
Cell & Bioscience, 2021 Tissue regeneration is of fast growing importance in the development of biomedicine, particularly organ replacement therapies. Unfortunately, many human organs cannot regenerate.

Comparative Analysis of Cartilage Marker Gene Expression Patterns during Axolotl and Xenopus Limb Regeneration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) can completely regenerate lost limbs, whereas Xenopus laevis frogs cannot. During limb regeneration, a blastema is first formed at the amputation plane.

Genome evolution in the allotetraploid frog Xenopus laevis
Nature, 2016 To explore the origins and consequences of tetraploidy in the African clawed frog, we sequenced the Xenopus laevis genome and compared it to the related diploid X. tropicalis genome. We characterize the allotetraploid origin of X.
