Genome evolution in the allotetraploid frog Xenopus laevis [PDF]

, 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.

Expression of Xenopus tropicalis HNF6/Onecut-1

The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2009
Onecut genes belong to a family of transcription factors that are known to be important in embryonic development. In the present study, we analyzed the pattern of expression of Onecut-1/HNF6 in Xenopus tropicalis using RT-PCR and whole mount in situ hybridization.

Biased amino acid composition in warm-blooded animals [PDF]

, 2009
Among eubacteria and archeabacteria, amino acid composition is correlated with habitat temperatures. In particular, species living at high temperatures have proteins enriched in the amino acids E-R-K and depleted in D-N-Q-T-S-H-A. Here, we show that this

Identification of a novel conserved mixed-isoform B56 regulatory subunit and spatiotemporal regulation of protein phosphatase 2A during Xenopus laevis development [PDF]

, 2007
Background Wnt signaling is a key regulator of development and tumorigenesis. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), which consists of a catalytic C, a structural A, and a regulatory B subunit, plays diverse roles in Wnt signaling through its B56 subunits.

BDNF promotes target innervation of Xenopus mandibular trigeminal axons in vivo [PDF]

, 2007
Background. Trigeminal nerves consist of ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular branches that project to distinct regions of the facial epidermis. In Xenopus embryos, the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve extends toward and innervates the cement ...

Maternal pluripotency factors initiate extensive chromatin remodelling to predefine first response to inductive signals

Nature Communications, 2019
Embryonic development produces different cell types in response to a small number of inductive signals. Here, the authors characterise how maternal factors modify chromatin to specify initial competence in Xenopus tropicalis, finding that the pioneering ...

Genetic screens for mutations affecting development of Xenopus tropicalis.

PLoS Genetics, 2006
We present here the results of forward and reverse genetic screens for chemically-induced mutations in Xenopus tropicalis. In our forward genetic screen, we have uncovered 77 candidate phenotypes in diverse organogenesis and differentiation processes ...

Comparison of induction during development between Xenopus tropicalis and Xenopus laevis

The International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2006
Several in vitro systems exist for the induction of animal caps using growth factors such as activin. In this paper, we compared the competence of activin-treated animal cap cells dissected from the late blastulae of Xenopus tropicalis and Xenopus laevis.

More Than Just a Bandage: Closing the Gap Between Injury and Appendage Regeneration

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
The remarkable regenerative capabilities of amphibians have captured the attention of biologists for centuries. The frogs Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis undergo temporally restricted regenerative healing of appendage amputations and spinal cord ...

The Development of Xenopus tropicalis Transgenic Lines and their Use in Studying Lens Developmental Timing in Living Embryos [PDF]

, 2000
The generation of reporter lines for observing lens differentiation in vivo demonstrates a new strategy for embryological manipulation and allows us to address a long-standing question concerning the timing of the onset of differentiation.
