Modeling of Genome-Wide Polyadenylation Signals in Xenopus tropicalis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is an important post-transcriptional modification event to process messenger RNA (mRNA) for transcriptional termination, transport, and translation.

Molecular insights into electroreceptor ribbon synapses from differential gene expression in sturgeon lateral line organs

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 784-805, May 2026.
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.

Mitotic spindle scaling during Xenopus development by kif2a and importin α. [PDF]

, 2012
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.

Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship

genesis, Volume 64, Issue 2, April 2026.
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

Thyroid hormone receptor subtype-specific function in controlling organ-specific developmental timing and rate during Xenopus development

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Thyroid hormone (T3) is essential for vertebrate development as animals fail to develop into adults in the absence of T3. T3 is particularly critical for postembryonic development.

Highly efficient bi-allelic mutation rates using TALENs in Xenopus tropicalis

Biology Open, 2012
Summary In the past decade, Xenopus tropicalis has emerged as a powerful new amphibian genetic model system, which offers all of the experimental advantages of its larger cousin, Xenopus laevis.

Cartilage on the Move: Cartilage Lineage Tracing During Tadpole Metamorphosis

, 2012
The reorganization of cranial cartilages during tadpole metamorphosis is a set of complex processes. The fates of larval cartilage-forming cells (chondrocytes) and sources of adult chondrocytes are largely unknown.

Structural and functional divergence of growth hormone-releasing hormone receptors in early sarcopterygians: lungfish and Xenopus [PDF]

, 2013
The evolutionary trajectories of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) receptor remain enigmatic since the discovery of physiologically functional GHRH-GHRH receptor (GHRHR) in non-mammalian vertebrates in 2007.

Guess Who: Delineating Post‐Metamorphic Amphibian Life Stages and Sexes Using a Standardised Visible Approach

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 4, April 2026.
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 ...

Cas9-Based Genome Editing in Xenopus tropicalis [PDF]

, 2014
Xenopus tropicalis has been developed as a model organism for developmental biology, providing a system offering both modern genetics and classical embryology. Recently, the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR-associated (CRISPR/Cas) system for genome modification has provided an additional tool for Xenopus researchers to ...
