Modelling human genetic disorders in Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

Disease Models & Mechanisms
ABSTRACT Recent progress in human disease genetics is leading to rapid advances in understanding pathobiological mechanisms. However, the sheer number of risk-conveying genetic variants being identified demands in vivo model systems that are amenable to functional analyses at scale. Here we provide a practical guide for using the diploid

A genetic map of Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

Developmental Biology, 2011
We present a genetic map for Xenopus tropicalis, consisting of 2886 Simple Sequence Length Polymorphism (SSLP) markers. Using a bioinformatics-based strategy, we identified unique SSLPs within the X. tropicalis genome. Scaffolds from X. tropicalis genome

Cardiac regeneration in Xenopus tropicalis and Xenopus laevis: discrepancies and problems [PDF]

Cell & Bioscience, 2018
Two studies have recently focused on adult heart regeneration in Xenopus. While we reported on cardiac myogenic regeneration in Xenopus tropicalis after injury, Marshall and colleagues found no regeneration in an injured heart in Xenopus laevis. Here, we

Liver-specific enhancers evolved from independent episodes of MITE domestication in Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

Mobile DNA
Transposable elements (TEs) occupy a significant fraction of a wide variety of eukaryotic genomes and can be domesticated into functional sequences harbouring a coding or regulatory potential.

Pharmacological Modulation of Melanocortin 1 Receptor Signaling by Mrap Proteins in Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
The melanocortin system consists of five G protein–coupled receptors (MC1R-MC5R), the bidirectional endogenous ligands (MSH and Agouti families), and accessory proteins (MRAP1 and MRAP2).

The methyltransferase activity of Dot1L is essential for Xenopus tropicalis tadpole development and survival [PDF]

Cell & Bioscience
Epigenetic modifications of histones play key roles in transcriptional regulation by diverse transcription factors. One such modification is the methylation of histone H3 at lysine 79 (H3K79).
