The expression of various genes involved in synapse development, stability and/or function was studied in developing mechanosensory neuromasts and electrosensory ampullary organs in sterlet sturgeon. Most were shared, including Slc17a8, Slc1a3 and Nrxn3, but Cbln18 was neuromast‐restricted and Tulp1 was ampullary organ‐restricted.

Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship
ABSTRACT The classical definition of metamorphosis is a post‐embryonic transformation, such as from a tadpole to a froglet. However, recent studies suggest this process occurs to some degree in all vertebrates, as the underlying endocrine and molecular pathways are highly conserved. With the advent of high‐throughput sequencing, transcriptomic data for

Is adult cardiac regeneration absent in Xenopus laevis yet present in Xenopus tropicalis?
We recently used an endoscopy-based resection method to explore the consequences of cardiac injury in adult Xenopus laevis, obtaining the result that the adult Xenopus heart is unable to regenerate.

Retinoic acid-activated Ndrg1a represses Wnt/β-catenin signaling to allow Xenopus pancreas, oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum specification. [PDF]
How cells integrate multiple patterning signals to achieve early endoderm regionalization remains largely unknown. Between gastrulation and neurulation, retinoic acid (RA) signaling is required, while Wnt/β-catenin signaling has to be repressed for the ...

Production of Xenopus tropicalis Egg Extracts to Identify Microtubule-associated RNAs [PDF]
Many organisms localize mRNAs to specific subcellular destinations to spatially and temporally control gene expression. Recent studies have demonstrated that the majority of the transcriptome is localized to a nonrandom position in cells and embryos. One

Expression of Xenopus tropicalis HNF6/Onecut-1
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.

There is a need for robust criteria that can consistently identify sex and life stage, which should be applicable within populations over time, between populations of the same species, and, if possible, across species within major groups. In this study, we use a multi‐season data set to define adulthood for male and female anurans using externally ...

Modeling of Genome-Wide Polyadenylation Signals in Xenopus tropicalis
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is an important post-transcriptional modification event to process messenger RNA (mRNA) for transcriptional termination, transport, and translation.

Mitotic spindle scaling during Xenopus development by kif2a and importin α. [PDF]
Early development of many animals is characterized by rapid cleavages that dramatically decrease cell size, but how the mitotic spindle adapts to changing cell dimensions is not understood.

ABSTRACT Sex chromosomes in amphibians exhibit substantial variability and often remain largely homomorphic, providing a powerful system for studying sex determination. The Sangzhi horned toad (Boulenophrys sangzhiensis) is an ideal model, but limited genomic resources have hindered insights into sex determination mechanisms.
