Overlapping effects on gene expression in response to Cic knockdown in Xenopus tropicalis and ectodermal wounding in Xenopus laevis. [PDF]
, 2023 Xenopus laevis wounding datasets from [50] were filtered to only include genes annotated in the Xenopus tropicalis genome (12992 genes). Datasets for 30–90 minutes post-wounding were combined and filtered according to the following criteria, fold up ...

Deep transcriptome profiling reveals limited conservation of A-to-I RNA editing in Xenopus
BMC Biology, 2023 Background Xenopus has served as a valuable model system for biomedical research over the past decades. Notably, ADAR was first detected in frog oocytes and embryos as an activity that unwinds RNA duplexes. However, the scope of A-to-I RNA editing by the

Identification of mutants in inbred Xenopus tropicalis
Mechanisms of Development, 2005 Xenopus tropicalis offers the potential for genetic analysis in an amphibian. In order to take advantage of this potential, we have been inbreeding strains of frogs for future mutagenesis. While inbreeding a population of Nigerian frogs, we identified three mutations in the genetic background of this strain.

Husbandry, General Care, and Transportation of Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]
, 2018 Maintenance of optimal conditions such as water parameters, diet, and feeding is essential to a healthy Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis colony and thus to the productivity of the lab. Our prior husbandry experience as well as the rapid growth of the National Xenopus Resource has given us a unique insight into identifying and implementing these ...

Modelling of rare diseases and developmental processes in Xenopus tropicalis : from retinal degeneration to epidermal structures [PDF]
, 2023 In Chapter I it has been introduced that the advent of CRISPR/Cas9 made it possible to alter the Xenopus genome. The Xenopus species has a remarkable history.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Despite frogs avoiding low temperatures, examination of four salamander species revealed that none avoided cold and all possessed cold tolerance. Functional analysis of TRPM8, a cold sensor, showed that all salamander TRPM8s had lost their cold sensitivity.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Assessing the impact of xenoestrogen exposure during larval development on the reproductive potential of the amphibian Silurana tropicalis in a partial life-cycle model [PDF]
, 2010 This thesis was submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Evidence suggests that chemicals acting as endocrine disruptors can modulate amphibian sex differentiation and induce sex reversal and gonadal abnormalities.
