Inbreeding ratio and genetic relationships among strains of the Western clawed frog, Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

, 2015
The Western clawed frog, Xenopus tropicalis, is a highly promising model amphibian, especially in developmental and physiological research, and as a tool for understanding disease.

Whole-genome sequencing identifies I-SceI-mediated transgene integration sites in Xenopus tropicalis snai2:eGFP line

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022
Transgenesis with the meganuclease I-SceI is a safe and efficient method, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear due to the lack of information on transgene localization.

Primary structure and evolutionary relationship between the adult alpha-globin genes and their 5'-flanking regions of Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

, 1988
To investigate the evolution of globin genes in the genus Xenopus, we have determined the primary structure of the related adult alpha I- and alpha II-globin genes of X. laevis and of the adult alpha-globin gene of X.

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 ...

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 ...

Animal Maintenance Systems: Xenopus tropicalis. [PDF]

Cold Spring Harb Protoc, 2020
Modular recirculating animal aquaculture systems incorporate UV sterilization and biological, mechanical, and activated carbon filtration, creating a nearly self-contained stable housing environment for Xenopus tropicalis. Nonetheless, minimal water exchange is necessary to mitigate accumulation of metabolic waste, and regular weekly, monthly, and ...

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.
