Xenopus tropicalis Genome Re-Scaffolding and Re-Annotation Reach the Resolution Required for In Vivo ChIA-PET Analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Genome-wide functional analyses require high-resolution genome assembly and annotation. We applied ChIA-PET to analyze gene regulatory networks, including 3D chromosome interactions, underlying thyroid hormone (TH) signaling in the frog Xenopus ...

4-Methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM) affects viability, development, and movement of Xenopus embryos

Toxicology Reports, 2021
Following chemical spill disasters, it is important to estimate the effects of spilled chemicals on humans and the environment. Here we analyzed the toxicological effects of the coal cleaning chemical, 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM), which was ...

Conservation and divergence of ADAM family proteins in the Xenopus genome

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background Members of the disintegrin metalloproteinase (ADAM) family play important roles in cellular and developmental processes through their functions as proteases and/or binding partners for other proteins.

A comparative analysis of transcription factor expression during metazoan embryonic development. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
During embryonic development, a complex organism is formed from a single starting cell. These processes of growth and differentiation are driven by large transcriptional changes, which are following the expression and activity of transcription factors ...

Decoding development in Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

genesis, 2007
AbstractXenopus tropicalis is rapidly being adopted as a model organism for developmental biology research and has enormous potential for increasing our understanding of how embryonic development is controlled. In recent years there has been a well‐organized initiative within the Xenopus community, funded largely through the support of the National ...

Multiple massive domestication and recent amplification of Kolobok superfamily transposons in the clawed frog Xenopus

Zoological Letters, 2018
Background DNA transposons are generally destroyed by mutations and have short lifespans in hosts, as they are neutral or harmful to the host and therefore not conserved by natural selection.

Genetic Analysis of Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

, 2012
The pipid frog Xenopus tropicalis has emerged as a powerful new model system for combining genetic and genomic analysis of tetrapod development with robust embryological, molecular, and biochemical assays. Its early development closely resembles that of its well-understood relative X.

Genetics, Morphology, Advertisement Calls, and Historical Records Distinguish Six New Polyploid Species of African Clawed Frog (Xenopus, Pipidae) from West and Central Africa.

PLoS ONE, 2015
African clawed frogs, genus Xenopus, are extraordinary among vertebrates in the diversity of their polyploid species and the high number of independent polyploidization events that occurred during their diversification.

Remobilization of Tol2 transposons in Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

BMC Developmental Biology, 2010
Abstract Background The Class II DNA transposons are mobile genetic elements that move DNA sequence from one position in the genome to another. We have previously demonstrated that the naturally occurring Tol2 element from Oryzias latipes efficiently integrates its corresponding non-autonomous transposable element ...
